Has anyone used cl-opengl inside a standard X-window based drawing widget (one that supports simple refresh and input event call backs ) ?

I am interested in bypassing GLUT (which I currently use) and using another lisp-based toolkit, potentially mcclim. I would like to continue using cl-opengl, though because I like it's interface.

I am assuming that if I have a low-level window , I can create an OpenGL context for it and the cl-opengl binding would just work. Correct. lispbuilder-sdl is used with cl-opengl in this way. The example below shows lispbuilder-sdl creating the OpenGL context. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.cl-lispbuilder.general/648 -Luke
