Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to slow down the refresh rate while using glut. I have things falling, and they fall too fast, and I can't change the amount they fall per redraw. Any ideas?

Yeah... Trade computers with me!
My AGP G4 400 is S-L-O-W with OpenGL. Things are fine with smaller windows, but it all really starts to slow down dramatically the larger the window gets. Yeah, I'm still using the original 16 MB ATI 128-Rage that came stock with the machine. It was a great machine when it first came out, but just seems too sluggish now. In a few months I'll be purchasing a new machine, but I think I'm going to just by a PowerBook. Even the new PB's are dramatically quicker than my AGP 400. As for the AGP 400, it's going to be turned into a pure development and test server...
Sorry I didn't answer your question, but just had to comment!
You could put in a call to "usleep" and put your process to sleep for some amount of time. Or if you want to be clever, you could set up a timer that sends a signal every 60th of a second.
