[Mesa3d-users] beginners problem with Mesa

[Lars B. <be...@rh...>]

Hi,

I used Mesa 3.3 (Red Hat Linux 6.2) to write
one of the (simple) example programs printed in the
OpenGL Programming Book.

After starting the program - this error occurs in any program I wrote in
which I implemented
mouse events - the mouse cursor looses
its functionality. (I use the fvwm2 window manager.)
I guess, the mouse gets locked by Mesa when the
"glutMouseFunc(...)" is implemented?
How can I free the mouse after starting the program?

A second problem I have, is the following compiler error, which
occurs when I use the stdlib.h:

/usr/include/stdlib.h:520:
warning: declaration of 'exit(int)' throws different exceptions

/usr/X11R6/include/GL/glut.h:202:
warning: previous declaration here

How can I use GLUT and stdlib.h?

Thank You in advance for any advice
