Thanks. This time I received your archive. I will
have a look at it.
Just for your and other users info: we have already begun implementing
GLW API along with GLX API in XWIN server. This will allow to display
OPENGL/X application, and use Win32 native OpenGL32 for hardware
rendering.
A lot of hack is going on here. Peter is working hard to bring
xwin X_server in quality comparable to Exceed. Looks like
in a month or so we might achive this goal... having a
high quality Open Source X-server for Win32.
