Thank you for your help.
I'm having a few problems.  Some OpenGL programs that run fine on
Windows 2000 run very slow on NetBSD.  This is especially true for
programs that involve textures.  I have Windows 2000 on my laptop as well,
so I don't understand why I'm getting different results on the same
hardware.
Also, some programs don't run on NetBSD but run on Windows 2000.  I
get the following error:
Glut: Fatal Error in dinoshade: visual with necessary capabilities not
found.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Yasir
