hi august,
answer this one private: how are you? i hope well.
it has to do with Nvidia's openGL implimentation. I forget now exactly what I had to copy (can't get to my machine with the Gentoo/Nvidia combo until thursday)....but there are two versions of the openGL libraries installed, and you need to take one and copy it over the other. after that, all is fine.
sounds convincing. what you mean is to issue the "opengl-update nvidia" command. i could swear i did so, yet it might still be that i did it while in X and then the wrong lib would've been already in use - or even the command might have failed silently. i will have a look at the libGL myself.
rebooting did not solve anything. i would be glad if you have a look (into bash_history :) on thursday.
the strange thing is that e.g. glxgears works - only gem fails. i've got no other opengl app installed.
sorry that that's not too much help. it should work ok, though.
now that last sentence _is_ much help because it gives confidence.
one more question: did you activate DRI in the kernel (i use 2.6.9)? gentoo docs say "no" while nvidia docs (used to) say "yes".

best -august.

hi,
i just reinstalled my system and thus got my first xorg x11 (as opposed to xfree86 x11) running. everything went quite smooth (for gentoo circumstances) yet when testing my standard pd libs i had a hard crash as soon as i opened a gem window - everything frozen. opengl (nvidia) works and 2d-acceleration is also fine.
does anybody else have positive or negative experiences with xorg x11
gem? especially on gentoo.
