Hi there,

just wanted to say you guys are all doing an awesome job porting XFree86 
to Windows. I installed it so i can run OpenDX on my fastest machine 
which is (for now) a Windows box.

I do have a couple fo questions though. I'm not too familiar with the 
intricacies of how the X server interacts with the underlying display 
layer in Windows but,

a) Can i expect to get hardware OpenGL under Cygwin/XFree86 with my 
NVidia GF2MX?

b) I know the colour is screwed up in modes >8 bit colour depth. Is 
there any way of fixing this in a binary-only install, or is it 
definitely necessary to patch the source and recompile?

Thanks

-Pete
