David,
Cygwin/XFree86 doesn't have OpenGL, it has Mesa.
You can run 'xdpyinfo' in Cygwin/XFree86 and look for the GLX and SGI-GLX
extensions. Both of those should be present in a default installation.
I'm not sure if Mesa is completely compatible with OpenGL apps on SGI...
you'll have to find that out for yourself or hope that someone on the list
with an SGI machine answers.
