This is more appropriately directed to the Cygwin X list. I've reset the "Reply-To" there. Please send any follow-up the the Cygwin X list. From the above, it's clear the application you're trying to use wants to access the underlying hardware (via OpenGL). This is not supported in the current Cygwin X server. I believe there is a MinGW version which has some support for this though. You may want to investigate that. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
