Hi,
I wonder, why I failed to allocate display list indices in
multiprocessing-mode( APP_CULL_DRAW) by using the OpenGL command
"glGenLists", although it works in APPCULLDRAW.

My src looks like:
...
/* fontDLHandle is located in sharedArena to be visible to APP and DRAW
routines*/

 ViewState->fontDLHandle=glGenLists( (GLuint) LAST+1 );

 if(ViewState->fontDLHandle==0)
 {
  pfNotify(PFNFY_FATAL, PFNFY_USAGE,"loadXFont: Couldn't get %d display
lists\n",LAST+1);
  exit(1);
 }
...

fontDLHandle becomes 0, if LAST+1==0 (-> never!) or if the requested
number of indices isn't available.[OpenGL Prog.Guide]

Does anybody knows what's going wrong in APP_CULL_DRAW ?
Thank you, Peter
