sorry, no.
my card has direct rendering, all mesa demos work fine. it's an Acer Lab Aladdin i1 chipset which does graphics and audio.
the problem is that it's the latest release of Mesa ( 3.5 ) and Redhat 7.
and although you get this error, some gem examples work afterwards.

hi,
i think most of your problems arise because u have no direct rendering. u have to use an opengl card with dri support like matrox g400 etc.. u can find the supported cards + more info at dri.sourceforge.net.
once u have a working dri environment gem should load without the "could not create context blah .... " (i dont have the correct error in my mind).
with the commandline command "glxinfo" u can look up if u have direct rendering or not.
cheers

I get the same message and yes it works, but as soon as you destroy the window, pd crashes. I think it has something to do with the GL/Mesa libs which are included in XFree86 4.1.0.

hi,
thanks for your hints, you're right, gem works if you ignore this message which seemed to me as a fatal error, but, no, after that, it "somewhat" works.
