Just as a clarification, while I often refer to accelerated OpenGL (via libGL) and OpenGL over X11 (GLX) interchangably, I do mean the former in most cases -- where the latter is typically inherited for free. I should make that distinction, because Looking Glass is not a GLX environment. It is a completely different, but GPL Freedomware (Open Source, Open Standard) environment with X11, GLX, etc... compatibility layers. -- Bryan J.
