Hello!
Hooray, finaly got Gem working on my debian machine. The problem was with old (1541) Nvidia driver which doesn't like new kernels (2.4.17). I went back to 2.4.7 and now it works.
Since I am new to OpenGL an Gem, I went through most of the decumentation patches when I noticed machine getting slugish. It looks like pd/Gem is not releasing the memory after the patch is closed. Happens with 0.35t11 and 0.34p4. Only closing pd and starting again helps.
Another problem is with .ttf files. Any idea what could be wrong?
error: GEM: text3d: unable to open font: /usr/local/share/doc/gem/examples/7.text/times.ttf error: GEM: textoutline: unable to open font: /usr/local/share/doc/gem/examples/7.text/arial.ttf
Fonts are there and are readable: josef:/usr/local/share/doc/gem/examples/7.text# l *.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 143258 mar 6 16:26 arial.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 173586 mar 6 16:26 cour.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 188960 mar 6 16:26 times.ttf
Is there a way I could set the position of the "gem" window?
Otherwise I am enjoying gem a lot...
Thanks in advance and take care,
Miha...

i have had no problems with the 1541-drivers at all under 2.4.17 it's jsut the thing with higher driver-versions....
what was the problem ? a gem-window that is kind of "transparent" ?

i once dos2unix'ed the fonts, whcih was somehow stupid. everyone who has this problems can download now the 3 fonts from ftp://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/Externals/GEM/misc

no. i do not really see a reason for this: when i develop things i can put the Gem-window wherever i like (which might be inconvenient, but not important) for use in "public" i would run gem in fullscreen mode. (i see a need for a "create_fullscreen" or something similar)
but i might be ignorant (and maybe i find time to implement it...)

I'm running with the 1541 NV drivers with a 2.4.16 kernel without problems. are you running redhat? I found that redhat behaved different with the same gem version and same nvidia driver version (segfaults on "destroy")
I do have on problem with this setup though, In order to create a stereo window one must first create a normal window otherwise the creating the stereo window segfaults pd. anoying but not much of a problem (that with gem 0.86)

The problem was that I couldn't start X. Starting resulted in displaying red vertical stripes and soft freezing of the computer. SysRq saved me a lot od fscking.

That would be way cool.
