but stull, wouldn't user-settable (runtime) defaults be an even better option? on my nvidia hardware i would very much prefer to have rectangle textures by default (the last tests i did with the gemframebuffer, only worked in rectangle-mode too; i think it is just the way to go if the card supports it); since the problem is (most likely) buggy hardware/drivers, where we have no (generic) way to predict the behaviour of the system, it would be good to let the user do some checks and adjust their system accordingly.
anyhow, probably i'll do that tomorrow: how about an environment variable "GEM_RECTANGLE_TEXTURE" which could be set to "0" to prevent the use of rectangle textures. (unset or 1 would check for rectangle-support of the driver before enabling it)
How about:
[loadbang] | [mode 1( | [pix_texture]
Works well everyone else in Pd, I don't a reason for a new method of setting such things.
