Multiple windows using X protocol

OpenGL
1

Hi everybody!

I’m trying to write a simple program with glut using the X protocol. I want to display multiple windows on different machines, but I don’t know how to do this, because in glutInit I can specify only one “-display” parameter, and multiple calls of glutInit is not possible. Has anybody some idea how can I resolve this problem?

Thanks,
joco

Hi !

I don’t think glut support windows on different displays, if you need that you have to use something else then glut (correct me if I am wrong, I have not used glut in a long time).

Hi!

I think that you are wrong, because I can display a window on a different machine (using the “-display” option). The problem is, that I can’t display one window on a machine and an other window on a different machine.

Sorry, maybe I was unclear, what I meant was that you cannot create one window on one display and then create another window and have it on another display, to do that I think you have to use something else then glut.

A little messy, but maybe you could have two glut applications, one for each window and have them talking to each other (sockets…)
