Accelerated-X 1.2 will have support for a software Accelerated PEX
5.1 in a few weeks. This has the advantage of $0 royalty, so we can
ship at a reasonable price... We'll be following up later this year
with PEX 5.2 and hardware acceleration (we already have contracts
with some of the 3D chip vendors, or their board makers).
We also intend to make GLX (the OpenGL X Server extension) either
late this year or early next year. There is a royalty and a
licensing fee associated with OpenGL, so this will be more expensive
than PEX. Yes, we know about Mensa, too :-)
Cheers, JeremyC.
