No, OpenGL is not accelerated in Cygwin/XFree86. We use Mesa for OpenGL support in Cygwin/XFree86, and Mesa uses FB to draw to an offscreen framebuffer that is occasionally transferred to the screen. It sounds plausible that one could tie the Cygwin/XFree86 OpenGL layer into the Windows OpenGL API, but no one has volunteered to look into the difficulty of doing so. I would very much appreciate someone putting a little bit of time into simply telling us how much time and difficulty would potentially be involved in this task. Harold
