I program on linux but Ive made my engine so it should be cross plant-form(havnt test it yet since I dont have win****) Im using glut currently im going to move to SDL. I programmed most of my own stuff so I wouldnt have to use any linux api. I made a bmp, tga, pcx, md2, md3, mdl, ms3d reader. Its not hard just takes some time.
You can take a look at the GLUT sourcecode and see how they create their windows…
it’s something with XOpenDisplay , XCreateWindow, etc… 
Have fun

And X isn’t that ugly anymore… especially the new xcursor from X 4.3.0 :P[/b]
I agree I may be alittle outdated… Last time I studied X was with Xfree 3.4.something
But I am sure MFC is still uglier…nothing cam be uglier.
