opengl

[Michael Hennebry]

I'd like to do hardware accelerated opengl using Windows and opengl.
The Windows part is my boss's idea.
If X is hardware accelerated, I might be able to use Xlib calls.
Does using opengl under cygwin require X?
Does using hardware accelerated opengl require X?
How experimental is cygwin's hardware accelerated X server?
In other words:
What are the gotchas?
Are there intermittent or otherwise mysterious problems?
If so, how often are there permanent or ephemeral errors?

I suspect I could get this by installing cygwin.all and RTFM,
but I'm rather leery of all things Windows,
especially things installed by me.
I'd like to have a clue before I start installing things.
