The current state is; Xserver is broken. It hangs when it tries to connect to Xlib. > How long will we have to wait for it? If you wish you can speedup the port by joining the development team. Right now, only 2 of use (me and John Fortin) are working on the code. Mumit Khan had been a great help in fixing DLLs problems. Mumit also helped to port Glide to Cygwin and provided help whenever we run into compilation problem. It is a 100 MB of source code, thus you can imagine what kind of problem one can run into, when trying to port a huge source code. Unfortunately, we have to work too, and can spend only our spare time on this project. >Does it still run on top of > ggi? > Yes, GGI will be used too. GGI port to Cygwin is finished, however GGI itself is not enough. It needs DirectX supprt on Windows. John Fortin is working on writing a DirectX interface.
