  1. GGI, X, whatever gets the job done. by Tekmage · · Score: 1 · on Carmack Donates $10k to Mesa

    I've never used GGI, so my question to you has to be, can I at least do the same thing with an Xfree 4.0 server? i.e. Is it possible to map an active Xterm session window onto, say, the surface of a tilted square?

    The Precision Insight solution mentions direct 3D rendering into a window; direct rendering of a window into a 3D environment isn't mentioned...

    Maybe all that's required is extending the capabilities of a traditional (2D) window manager (that was my original idea, but the hardware-direct path in X wasn't there) to support 3D "rooms" and rewrite the basic apps to texture-map onto room-object surfaces...

    I'm open to suggestions, and I'd rather not re-invent the wheel; I definitely prefer OpenGL-based solutions. Maybe I'll should take another stab at my original train-of-thought.
