You can look at 
http://www.opengl.org/developers/code/features/OGLextensions/OGLextensions.html 
to see how to properly use OpenGL extensions.

If wglGetProcAddress("glLockArraysEXT") returns NULL, it means that that 
extension is not supported by the ICD of the graphic card on the computer 
where you are running the program. ICDs are usually installed when drivers 
for the card are installed.

Are you sure that you have the right name for the extension ? 
glLockArraysEXT does not appear in the extension registry 
(http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/).

Good luck,


André Bleau, Cygwin's OpenGL package maintainer.
