-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I recently received a list entitled "30+ Reasons Why X-Win32 is Better than Cygwin/X". I don't know enough at the moment (though I am learning) about the Cygwin/X server to be able to understand some of the reasons. I have already created XWinLogon (http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/) and I am working to work on the Cygwin/X server so that all 30+ reasons will go away. Can someone please explain the following: 3-D Hardware Acceleration for OpenGL - I am told that Cygwin/X supports this, but I use XWin_GL.exe. What do they mean by this? GDI Acceleration of X Graphics Primitives - I'm assuming this is a direct translation of X drawing routines to Windows drawing routines? Like writing directly to the hDC? Compensation for Cable Modem NATs (IPsmar) - I will probably look this one up myself. Last Session Terminate Support - how might this be implemented? Perhaps I could check all top-level window titles for Cygwin? Any recommendations? Anyone know how support for multiple users (Terminal Services) might be implemented? I am just sending these questions out there so that everyone can see what I will be working on that I don't already know. I understand that some of these are pretty easy to find out about, but if I could be pointed in the right direction, that would be great. I expect that all of the GUI/multiuser stuff can be added within a couple months or so. I will also be working on remote sound support and enterprise level scalability. For anyone who wants to see the full list of reasons, I have attached it in this email. I converted it from an XLS to text, so it looks kinda funny. The first column is a number, the second column is the name of the feature, the third column is what support Cygwin/X has for it and the fourth column is what support X-Win32 has for it. - -Joseph Miller -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCL2hZmXZROF+EADURAuH7AJ4sMWNkewmQnemWmFqT2AeKT7XMDwCfR5o+ 8V4iPv23+sO5iInWxC++BWM= =Pmtt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
