Yeah I totally agree.. MiniGLX should die.. I was just curious to see
what would be needed to get it working, I believe EGL + one or two
extensions from us would be a much better platform to build on ..

And it gets more hacked everytime I add another piece of the full GLX
to it to do something, ... when Adam is thinks he has something worth
looking at I'd gladly move everything to using it ...

It's also a bad hack that the current miniglx sample_server has to be
run then the X server, current miniglx I don't think supports
rendering in its "server" application..
