Abstract

James Perrin was the first user of the linux version of express in MVC and has had a great deal of entertainment out of trying to get this version of the software working satisfactorily with the fledgling graphics hardware support available under Linux/X. Finally he has succeeded in getting the GL hardware support working with a number of graphics systems and hence has the hardware support available in Express. This talk is to describe the methods whihc work and the pitfalls which await you if you try and make similar support available on your linux installation.
