Threads have been enabled for libGL since XFree86 4.0 if I recall correctly. I know you used a workaround in the qt2 port to get it to link with libGL correctly. It's very annoying, but can be fixed with one simple #define. As far as BIC issues, The only thing that it really changes is libGL no longer uses pthread functions for storing thread specific data. > Regards, -- -- Bradley T.
