Render from a new thread

OpenGL OpenGL: Advanced Coding

I saw that you have to call this:


glXMakeCurrent(glXGetCurrentDisplay(), glXGetCurrentDrawable(), ?? )

if you want to start rendering from a new thread. I don’t understand the third parameter.

Any clues? (I saw this: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.2/doc/glXCopyContext.3.html and still dont get it).

Thanks,

Dave

The link you provide is not the good one.

The third parameter is a GLXContext, ie. the one that was given by cretecontext :
