I thought about benefits of doing such an xserver. It was not particularily meant for your specific target. (You might want to describe it a bit more, do you?) The screen layout might be arranged in whatever way you want, i just mentioned this as a sample case.

Glut is a default library that covers any OS specifics from your programming. And there are pretty lots of differences. Thats why i paired it with the OpenGL standard. Else you have to fiddle with wgl, aux, x11-basics, ... depending on where you are. > This OS provides a full commercial OpenGL 1.3 implementation > plus any extensions my video hardware supports.

OpenGL in its core only a drawing interface. _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
