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.

I had a negative enough experience that I uninstalled Fedora and installed Debian for its XFree86. But I had already been tangling with XOrg compatibility and ATI's crappy drivers for months, so it was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm going to stay away from XOrg for quite some time now, until it's either the default for everything I need or I have a lot of time to spend tweaking things.
Sorry to be discouraging. Let me know what you find.

hey martin,
i've been running xorg for the past few months on gentoo with gem without too many problems.. altho i'm not running nvidia, i do get lockups when running -rt flag as root.. i think the reason for this has been discussed previously, but couldn't find the posts..
nonetheless this same problem occured running in xfree, so mebbe i'm leading you astray..
all i can suggest is that you recompile gem for xorg, there may be a few minor changes in the headers that's throwing gem.. are you using nvidia based drivers or those with X? have yu tried to switch?
for your info i run: gem-0.90 xorg-6.7 pd-0.37
i hope that positive experiences don't lead to more frustration ;)
ciao

I just had the same problem.
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.
sorry that that's not too much help. it should work ok, though.

hi august,
answer this one private: how are you? i hope well.

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".

see if this helps:
cp /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/lib/libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6111 /usr/lib/opengl/nvidia/tls/
