You can also send a message to the pdp_xv or pdp_glx to I think [autostart 1] it says it in the pd window So you do not have to restart

Yes, if you use a pdp2gem or pdp library... but if you only use GEM dont need X (I think that)....
Best regards from chile.... and current error... when i open pdp the x screeen open but not show the video... i need restart pd with the x open and works fine.
Best regards from Chile

Sorry, this may be a pretty stupid question but since I'm new to GEM I have no idea.
Does GEM need X-Server to be running or does it connect directly to the graphic card?
whether you need an X-server, depends on your platform. on windows, Gem uses platform dependend code to create windows and to establish an openGL context. on X-platforms (linux, bsd, irix,...) it will use X/glx, so you will need an X-server somewhere to display (not necessarily the machine you are running Pd on). on OSX it will use Carbon/AGL. on w32 it will use windows/wgl.
i don't know of any program that "directly connects to the graphics card" and still wants to do more than copying pixels into some legacy buffer.
