Initial Comment: The video is not working for me under ubuntu 11.10 32 bits. I compiled pd-extended and gem from the latest repositories. My computer is an Acer Aspire 5610. When I try to start the video using the help patch for the [pix_video], switching devices I get the following messages and a blank white screen. The camera is working fine with cheese.
[pix_video]: no video backends found! [pix_video]: no video backends found! videoctl: device 1 videoctl: device 2 GEM: Only using 8 color bits GEM: Direct Rendering enabled! GEM: GLEW version 1.5.4 GEM: Start rendering GEM: Stop rendering

Message: Hans-Christoph gave the suggestion of a missing library, and he was right. The missing library was libv4l-dev. Not sure if Gem should have complained about this at configure time. Thank you.

Sounds like you are probably missing library dependencies when you built Gem.
