I''m wondering if anyone knows of any tutorials for created a program which will run on FreeBSD and kde or gnome that uses OpenGL. Can anyone help? James Simmons MindEngine Development http://www.mindgamez.com/me/

You're getting too specific and not being specific enough at the same time . Most people using FreeBSD would use X for hardware accelerated graphics. Your software interacts with X through Xlib. X connects to OpenGL through GLX. If you don't feel like using Xlib and GLX, try SDL (this link found on libsdl.org ).

Gnome and KDE provide interfaces through X, you wouldn't need to program for them specifically if all you want to do is draw with OpenGL.

Ok so, where can I find tutorials for X and xlib under FreeBSD?

Try Google ("Xlib Tutorial"). The first several links it gives were some of what I used when playing around with X through Xlib.

Thanks, these look like a good place to start :D
