Hi there,
just wanted to say you guys are all doing an awesome job porting XFree86
to Windows. I installed it so i can run OpenDX on my fastest machine
which is (for now) a Windows box.
I do have a couple fo questions though. I'm not too familiar with the
intricacies of how the X server interacts with the underlying display
layer in Windows but,
a) Can i expect to get hardware OpenGL under Cygwin/XFree86 with my
NVidia GF2MX?
b) I know the colour is screwed up in modes >8 bit colour depth. Is
there any way of fixing this in a binary-only install, or is it
definitely necessary to patch the source and recompile?
Thanks
-Pete
