Hi, I am writing an app that needs to render different stuff to different windows (not full screen). Windows (the correct X name for that is display right?) are completely independent and share no data and have no communication. Naturally, I want to use multiple threads to do it. Ie, each thread has some local data and renders to it's window, blissfully unaware of what other thread does in the other window. All manipulation is via keyboard/mouse input. IE, no toolbars/widgets to bother with.
Can Xlib+glx+opengl be used in this manner? In this case would I need to lock a mutex or call XInitThreads()/Xlockdisplay()/xunlockdisplay() at each instance of a x function call? I really don't want to do that. Running multiple processes will alleviate the pain but will make some other things difficult in other places. If it is not going to be as simple as an embarrassingly parallel thing, then please let me know. -- Rohit Garg http://rpg-314.blogspot.com/ Senior Undergraduate Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Bombay _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
