I have a related problem. I would like to create a popup menu in the root window using mixed mode graphics but haven't been having much luck. Passing a value of GLX_NONE for the normal buffer to GLXgetconfig (buffer = GLX_NORMAL, mode = GLX_BUFSIZE) does not have the desired effect. GLXlink still expects a window id for the normal buffer. I tried creating the normal window (leaving it unmapped) and making the popup window a child of the root. Nothing happens - neither errors nor visible effect when drawing to the popup window. Also, creating the popup as a child of the normal window and reparenting to the root window seems to have no effect. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Please, can anyone offer advice on how to do this? ____________________________________________________________________________ Dave Gordon dgordon@crow.omni.co.jp
