Yes I figured as much ;-) No problem. I will submit patches as soon as I find enough time to do it. Windows programming is my expertise and I will try to help where I can. BTW there is no magic behind the HDC/HGLRC/HWND stuff, just think of them as of pointers (which they are afaik, that's why 64bit handles are 64bit in size...) which refer to some unknown data structures, just as void* do. It's just a little bit confusing that you need three of them instead only one, but it actually makes sense as they serve completely different purposes and therefore belong to different drivers. > The main complication (and the main reason for having Window-system > specific > Windows in the first place) is that we want to be able to have separate > threads > to handle input and drawing (i.e. have a separate drawing thread that > just pumps > OpenGL).

But it can be done and it can work really stable when done carefully. Aloha, Andi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
