GEM does some "tricks" on startup to find out what OpenGL capabilities your machine/graphics card has. This is the "const context". This message is GEM telling you that it could not create an OpenGL rendering context...which means that you really shouldn't continue.
The first error is complaining that it can't open the X display to create the rendering context. I would assume that there is something strange going on with the dual head setup. Let me know if you need more info with the X setup code.

hi list.
got gem build and running on a rh7.1 system. (which was a nightmare,..)
i get following error message when creating a window:
error: GEM: Could not open display %/1iso8859-15 error: GEM: Error creating const context error: GEM: A serious error occured creating const Context error: GEM: Do not continue!
can anyone tell what this means or is caused by? (maybe a conflict with the X (4.0.3) dual head setup?)
