linking cygwins glX (in libGL.a) with MS hardware opengl32 libraries

[Andre Bleau]

Sorry Steve K, but you are heading toward a dead end.

The hardware accelerated openGL drivers cannot be accessed from X window, 
and there is no way we can change this. Basicalty, we cannot "teach" 
drivers writen by graphic hardware manufacturers how to draw in an X-window 
context. So you have to choose between:

1- Keep your app as is, using X window through GLX, and forget hardware 
acceleration.

2- Rewrite your app to use wgl and M$-specific functions to manage windows 
and input (this can be a substantial rewrite) and use hardware accelerated 
openGL for drawing.

3- Use some portable window management layer, like GLUT, and use hardware 
accelerated openGL for drawing.
