RE: Xfree and OpenGL

[David Komanek <xdavid at aragorn dot natur dot cuni dot cz>]

Harold,

as I wrote before, I AM able to run xterm. Probably I don't know which
SGI applications are powered by OpenGL, and there is possibility, some of
the apps I cannot run are not these, but it is obvious that standard X11
apps are running and SGI specials (i.e. management utilities started from
toolchest) aren't.

BR,

  David
