Ok, thanks for this. I'm actually using a VNC server rather than XFree86 -
apologies for not mentioning this, I'm new to opengl (not helped by
http://opengl.org being down at the moment).

I've managed to get a simple test programme to work by downloading and
building Mesa-5.0.1, and linking my programme with -lglut -lGL -lGLU
-lpangoxft-1.0 -l Xmu. As far as I can tell, VNC doesn't have any special
support for sending opengl prmitives as part of it compression scheme, but
for the moment this isn't particularly important to me.

Does my use of the opengl API on VNC rather than XFree86, constitute a reason
for reinstating Mesa in /usr/ports, or am I missing something?

Thanks,

- Julian
