Not really the XF86 with openGL end, closer to Windows and DirectX but go have
a look at www.firingsquad.com/featurse/alexstjohn, main guy from DirectX is
working on game libs for Java (has a link to a few demo games, the driving one
seemed decent, like a PC game from about 4 years ago), also a bit about Bill
