   glaux out the window, no rgb, what are people using?
  I noticed everywhere that people say not to use glaux.h because its pretty much just plain old, but, I wanted to know what people are using for textures in OpenGl nowadays and what seem's to be the best libraries to use for interpreting the data?  Thanks a lot!J   
  I use SDL_Image. It can load bmp, gif, jpeg,  pcx, png, tga, tiff, and others with a single function call. I'm not sure if you can use it if you don't use SDL to setup your window though.
