Hi list,
I currently working on a patch which displays many lines of text (around 25) which then scroll up the screen (hopefully). My first issue is that when using text2d, neither [translate] or [translateXYZ] scroll far enough (+/- 4 is the maximum). So I tried using text3d, and it crashes pd if I try to use fullscreen. Running from a terminal, I get this error:
socket receive error: Connection reset by peer (104) Segmentation fault
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.
So is there a way to get text2d to scroll further? And how can I get text3d to work in fullscreen?
thanks,
James

basically: don't use [text2d] if you don't have any specific reasons to do so. use [text3d] whenever you can.
neither [translate] or [translateXYZ] scroll far enough (+/- 4 is the maximum).
which is not suprising, since both objects are really the same and only provide av different interface to the user.
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)?

could you try to do a backtrace, to see where the carsh happened?
$ gdb --args /pat/to/pd % run [...crash] % bt

Well [text2d] used to work in fullscreen, as well as [pix_image] -> [pix_texture] -> [rectangle]...

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 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(

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

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

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.
