whether you need an X-server, depends on your platform. on windows, Gem uses platform dependend code to create windows and to establish an openGL context. on X-platforms (linux, bsd, irix,...) it will use X/glx, so you will need an X-server somewhere to display (not necessarily the machine you are running Pd on). on OSX it will use Carbon/AGL. on w32 it will use windows/wgl. i don't know of any program that "directly connects to the graphics card" and still wants to do more than copying pixels into some legacy buffer. fgmasdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvr6J0ACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvTHZwCePA5YFXcV2I5vZRkRI4OceG++ JHYAnicG/nhjM+BN1bPD8/VWSmuccuKo =fs+z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
