dglGLX.pas file
{ Version 0.1a LINUX BETA }
{ Date : 11.02.2004 }

uses glXGetCurreentDisplay instead of glXGetCurrentDisplay.

Your project will compile without problems if you use glxGetCurreentDisplay, but i think the second form is the right one. I had to go through dglGLX.pas deleting the additional 'e'.

If i find anything else i'll post it under this thread

Well. looks like the problem is a bit more dense than just deleting some 'e' ... in my code (below) , using glXGetCurrentDisplay returns a nil pointer. But using glXGetCurreentDisplay crashes the application. That is probably my fault for not initiating properly OpenGL, but i can't help being new to X.
I want to create a component/widget to render OpenGL primitives on it. In Windows i had derived a new class from TWinControl, and used its handle property to create the rendering context. In Linux there is no such class so i tried to derive a new class from TPanel (inherits from TComponent and has a handle property). In its Paint method i included the openGLinitialized check following the example of selection_demo1_kylix



Using XOpenDisplay(#0) as in the demo (and probably the right option) causes no problems, but gl primitives don't show in the panel.
Using glXGetCurreentDisplay (as is now in dglGLX.pas) crashes the application, (probably because i didn't initiate correctly OpenGL, because that is the very first gl Routine I use.
And finally, using glXGetCurrentDisplay is foolish even if i delete additional e's in dglGLX.pas and recompile because it returns a nil pointer and nothing happens.

Anyone has a clue?
