That's pretty cool. Although I wouldn't say that GLX itself is exactly huge. What they've released is basically the X server side connecting glue that allows connecting up OpenGL to an X server. Here's a snippet from the readme: ===== GLX is used to connect an X server and an OpenGL implementation. By itself, the GLX distribution is incomplete. XFree86 (or other code based on the X11R6 release) provides the X server. ===== They aren't releasing, however, their OpenGL implementation. Here's what they said about that: ===== Please do not deluge SGI with requests to make our SI available as open source. We are fully aware of the issues involved. ===== Apparantly Red Hat and some other company (Precision Insight) are working on getting Mesa to work with GLX.
