hi again another issue i am getting with GEM on linux. When I run a patch that uses GEM that uses the webcam while the VGA output of the laptop is connected to an external monitor the X crashes , like if I press CTRL+ALT+Backspace.
I guess it has more to do with the system configuration than with GEM but I am not sure... enrike IOhannes m zmoelnig(e)k dio: > altern wrote: >> hi > [...] >> While in windows all is rendered fine, linux does not like it the >> rectangle was rendered but the webcam image wasnt.
