hello !
i present myself : i'm a young art student in Angers (France ; so, forgive my bad english) and i learned to create patches with puredata in the workshop organized by goto10 at Poitiers (France) last january. Since this, i'm designing my own tools for the music i do, and now i'm trying to do the same for real-time images, using Gem. I'm using a debian with the "jack" environnement, in fact, something inspîred from the pure:dyne we used in this workshop (buit i'm thinking about installing it). But, I've got some problems. I asked my questions on the pure:dyne list and they drove me here ; they also said my problems might not be linked to pd but to my OS and my drivers. these questions are : -on my laptop, i've got an auxiliary video out (on the side there are a S-Video plug and a standard computer screen plug), and i would like to know if there's a way to send the Gemwin content on it (to display on a TV, for example). I think they're really separated displays since I manage to have an extended desktop on windows 2000 (glups !) : I can pass a window from the laptop screen to an external monitor (a TV or a computer screen). I tried to configure Xfree as I had readen on forums and howtos but I never got anything else that a grey screen. I heard about Xorg, is it better ? -with Gem, i'm using 6 layers (with alpha transparency) each one linked to a gemhead, and the whole rendered in a 320x240 resolution, it works very well. but when i switch on the fullscreen mode (with the argument « fullscreen1 »), the rendering is very slow (4 frames per second maximum, i think). is it normal, how can i remediate to this ?
thanks a lot !

hi raphael,
welcome to the pd list! I think it would help to know which grafic card you have, maybe you have to find the right linux driver for that card and then you should be able to set up the second screen either by a special setup tool of your driver or via configuring the xserver. most of the times there is no opengl support for the second screen, so the second display is even slower than the first one... and there is a special command you can send to the gemwin to display on the second screen. I always forget the syntax, it is not documented, but I think it is that you add an argument to the create message of gemwin, like [create 0:1( marius.

Don't worry about bad English, your communication skills are fine. Quite a few other Pd-listers aren't native English speakers either.

Try using the message [fullscreen 2(. It should pop up on your other window. I'm on OS X, so I can't advise you on the debian particulars, however. But most of the hardcore Pd users are quite familiar with that distro, so you're bound to find help here.

my two cents.... i'm using xorg with an nvidia graphics card and driver under debian using the "TwinView" option in my xorg file (google or other search on twinview to get all options: svideo, NTSC or PAL, etc). basically this allows me to use my laptop display to run my patches and the display to the LeftOf (or RightOf - both twinview options) to be my Gem window at full screen so people don't see my patches.
for me this works out very well. your milage my vary.
hope this gives you a few starting points to search though :-)
best, p
