This is more appropriately directed to the Cygwin X list. I've reset the
"Reply-To" there. Please send any follow-up the the Cygwin X list.
From the above, it's clear the application you're trying to use wants
to access the underlying hardware (via OpenGL). This is not supported
in the current Cygwin X server. I believe there is a MinGW version which
has some support for this though. You may want to investigate that.
