Xming and OpenGL displaylists
Ok. I figured out why Xming did not display anything in dynagraph. That's the good news. The bad news is that it has to do with OpenGL display lists.
Display lists are a way to store complex OpenGL objects in precompiled form so there is no need to build up a model of several hundred polygons each time.
But why don't they work in Xming? Another mystery. Hopefully the MSDN doc on OpenGL can give a clue. At least I have found a simple test program which I can now use for deep analysis.
Stay tuned for updates
