Hi,

I have guys using XFORMS on SGI systems, but displaying via an
X-Server on Linux (they can't afford a real SGI!).

However, when they come to use an OpenGL canvas (glcanvs in v0.81)
the program barfs saying that Xlib: Server does not support GLX
extension.

So, is this a problem, i.e. can it be fixed if they get an update
to their Linux XServer software or whatever ...

ANy Linux gurus out their with an answer please ... if you have such
a setup working, please let me know versions ...

Regards,

Rob
