Re: [gl4java-usergroup] WGL_ARB_pbuffer extension

[Pepijn V. E. <pep...@lu...>]

Yep that seems like a better idea :) Compatibility was also my concern 
for the pbuffers. I've found that only nvidia, ati radeon and intel i810 
have implemented it in their drivers. And then some high-end gl cards. 
I'll drop the pbuffer and see if I can implement the clip thing. BTW any 
news on the bug fixes I sent?
