    Question glX Tutorials?

    Hello.

    I have been using OpenGL with glut for a while, but glut and linux are not very friendly with each other. I would rather use the X Window system. On top of that, I want to get into Server->client opengl programming, so I want to use glX. However, I cannot find any tutorials of any sort on how to use it in detail. I would appreciate it if someone who knows of any websites or books that I could not find would share them with me. Thanks.

    The most details you find in the spec documentation of
    GLX 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
    OpenGL & OpenGL Utility Specifications

    The tutorials on Nehe have examples which use the GLX interface
    NeHe Productions: OpenGL Lesson #02
    Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.

    Thanks, but...

    I found no glX Tutorials on the NeHe link, just some vague information on it (as was in the OpenGL "Red" Book). I did, going from one link to another on the second, find this: OpenGL Documentation which will be a useful index for glX. However, it is not a tutorial...
