So I tried using text3d, and
it crashes pd if I try to use fullscreen.     
        
never encountered something like this (i have seen and run lot's of
installations with [text3d] in fullscreen)
are you sure it is related to [text3d], and not something else?
does fullscreen work in general?
does it still crash if you replace all the [text3d]s by a dummy
abstraction [textdummy] (inlet->outlet)?
  
      
Well [text2d] used to work in fullscreen, as well as [pix_image] ->
[pix_texture] -> [rectangle]...
    


i haven't found anything yet that works in windowed mode but not in
fullscreen.

an alternative would be to not switch to fullscreen but rather do
[border 0, dimen 1024 768, offset 0 0(

Nice idea - although I think the problem is solved.. see below

  

    

      

        
I running Ubuntu Karmic and Pd-0.42.5-extended20100111 (which I just
installed, but the problem was there in the previous version). My
graphics card is RV350 Mobility Radeon 9600 M10.
    
        

      

      
which driver do yo use?
  
      

    

    
I think the driver is the problem - after some googling I tried an ATI
driver which really messed things up (no x server!). So I removed it and
now it's broken all of Gem! I guess this is a xorg / xserver issue so
not for this list perhaps, but if anyone can help, please let me know!!
    

  

  

i really hate ATI cards (esp. since i'm just trying to get a friends
all-in-wonder running via a remote connection)

  



tell me about it! My graphics card is no longer supported by ATI, but I
managed to configure xorg.conf to use xserver-xorg-video-radeon to use
the radeon driver and now [text3d] works in fullscreen! It did crash
once when I changed font though, but seems stable now. Thanks a lot for
your help.
