When i create the open gl context. I set auxialiary buffers to 0, but when i run the application in gdebugger. It still is creating the Aux buffers. Is there anyway to force it not to create those buffers since i am not using any of them.

Thanks

There is no way to explicitly disallow them - but there would be no point to do so anyway even if the option existed.

Aux buffers are created only when "used" (ie. referenced etc) (*) - gdebugger "uses" them (to show that there is nothing going on). In short: they are not created when you do not run through gdebugger and do not use them in your code.

(*) techincally, it is implementation detail - but you can safely assume every ogl diver that ever existed works that way.

Thanks.
