X hardware acceleration still flaky?

[L.Wood@surrey.ac.uk]

Well, it's been eighteen months since I last asked:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-02/msg00259.html

so I attempted to use opengl hardware acceleration with Cygwin and XFree 7.4, using Geomview (www.geomview.org) as the test application on an uptodate Cygwin 1.7 install.

Lots of flickering for about thirty seconds (of correct output), but then the X server crashes. So, no visible change over previous. It's still a regression on pre-7.4.

Has any work been attempted on improving hardware acceleration in xwin-gl?

thanks,

L.
