I'm not aware of any existing version of Xvnc supporting the GLX (OpenGL) extension. You could construct a new Xvnc from X server sources that support GLX, doing the OpenGL rendering in software on the server side. This would probably be quite a bit of work but would be a valuable contribution to the community. You may be able to get your application to do software OpenGL rendering. I think there is a way to do this with Mesa, possibly requiring a recompile of your application. It would probably be the easiest way to get your app working within VNC. A really cool solution would be to create an OpenGL encoding for VNC, complete with a VNC viewer which supports hardware rendering along with a VNC server that does software rendering for clients that don't support the encoding. That would be a pretty big project, though. -- Mike Ossmann, Tarantella/UNIX Engineer/Instructor Alternative Technology, Inc. http://www.alttech.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
