hmm, this weekend i helped someone out to setup Gem on an intl gfx chip and lo and behold! it did not crash. at least Gem claimed that it had "DRI enabled". probably a special chip that works :-) (he was using ubuntu hoary and once i convinced him to not try to install the official "Pd-extended-0.39" which has loads of unmet dependencies but rather the 0.40-rc, everything worked out of the box) fgmasdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
