- I have a related problem. I would like to create a popup menu in the
- root window using mixed mode graphics but haven't been having much
- luck. Passing a value of GLX_NONE for the normal buffer to GLXgetconfig
- (buffer = GLX_NORMAL, mode = GLX_BUFSIZE) does not have the desired
- effect. GLXlink still expects a window id for the normal buffer. I
- tried creating the normal window (leaving it unmapped) and making
- the popup window a child of the root. Nothing happens - neither errors
- nor visible effect when drawing to the popup window. Also, creating the
- popup as a child of the normal window and reparenting to the root window
- seems to have no effect. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Please, can
- anyone offer advice on how to do this?
