Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04). I need to display the GEM window with the machine I'm running it on. So that means I basically have to keep the system graphics turned on I guess. >Try pdp_xv or if its build pdp_sdl Would this allow me to turn the system graphics off and only display the GEM window?
