which, started from a terminal, prints also the clipping info, you can
use it to check if it works fine under dano (which I don't have).
I was hoping BDirectWindow works fine: it's much more used I guess :)
Also, I guess it could make a difference if you're inside a class
'implementing'(?) it, or if you are outside of it using it?
I'm no expert in this kind of stuff as you can see via the question
marks..

The header should be there I'd say. It's on R5 as well..
I don't know what discussions you are talking about BTW. My bad I
guess. Anyway: I don't know what road Haiku will take towards HW
openGL. I just know that BGLView (especially if fixed) is perfectly
usable as far as I'm concerned. And it's compatible with R5..
Although I did not yet look into things as switcing workspaces while an
app is running, setting a new more when an app is running. But maybe
someone else sees already how that should/could work.
Be went another way: something like BDirectGLView or something (dano).
It adds multimonitor support and fixes the probs BGLView has. At least,
this has been told to me by a betatester. Anyway: I think I already
proved now that BGLView in itself is perfectly usable for us for now.
> BTW, nice workarounds :)
Thank you :-)
It's nice (again) to get confirmation on a direction taken: as I am
still a bit uncertain in this new area for me. Although I generally am
able to detect if something is setup right for (graphics) hardware
support ;-)
