I'm trying to use x-win32 to use some applications on our SGI.

I keep getting openGL related errors that I can avoid if I run the applications in X3D mode, but some programs only run in openGL.

I'd like to know whether to sniff out a problem in x-win, on the SGI, or in my computer. So is there an easy way to tell if I can do openGL at all?

(I've got a laptop which I think has onboard video, I really don't understand these things)

wah.. I don't really understand about x-win32 and SGI, but I believe that all current video cards support OpenGL. It depends on the driver, try updating it. What's your video chipset anyway?

I've got an ATI IGP 340M. I'm assuming that is has opengl okay since there's a whole opengl tab in my video settings.

Guess I'll sniff up the x-win tree, thanks.
