I do not know if this is the appropriate forum, but I hope some one can point me in the right direction. My company (www.r2tech.com) does medical imaging (not games). We are in need of a very short term "guru" consultant to do a quick port of some code we have that runs on OpenGL. We need to demonstrate it on a very specialized high-res medical monitor at a conference in 3 weeks and the grachics card for this monitor only supports DirectDraw (7.0). If anyone is interested or can point in a direction to look for someome like this (I tried guru.com) please email me at kkreeger@r2tech.com Thanks -Kevin

Why not just running OpenGL in software mode with MESA? DirectDraw is a 2D-API so you would have to write your own software renderer if you want to do 3D-graphics with it.

We are only doing 2D display, nothing in 3D. I am pretty sure that the only thing we are doing that DirectDraw would not support is some stuff with a stencil buffer (but I think that translucent sprite rendering should be able to handle what we were doing)

We have OpenGL people here and I know enough about DirectX to be dnagerous (although mostly Direct3D 9.0) but with the compressed time to make this work on these new monitors before the show, I figureed getting in a "DirectDraw" guru would help.

We were told that the graphics card made by the monitor manufacturer (http://www.barco.com/medical/en/products/product.asp?element=1342)is the only one that supports 10 bit greyscale for these monitors (http://www.barco.com/medical/en/products/product.asp?element=2405)
