One note Harold on this You'll find that a lot of OpenGL drivers that are used on Windows are seriously lagging behind in support for the hardware. That's because a lot of vendors don't bother updating support for OpenGL directly and are more interested in Direct3D. Just run a native 'glinfo'

I just spoke with Torrey Lyons regarding OpenGL acceleration in Xdarwin. He enlightened me on several points: 1) Most of the code that I described in my first email is for the "direct" rendering path. That path allows X Clients on the same machine as the X Server to avoid calling through the

Notes on adding accelerated OpenGL support to Cygwin/X

2004-01-29 Thread Harold L Hunt II
I assume that a lot of users and potential users are interested in accelerated OpenGL support. Adding this isn't particularly hard, since we simply pass off OpenGL calls to the Win32 OpenGL system and because the Xdarwin (a.k.a. X on X, a.k.a. Apple) have already done a very similar system for
