<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've guessed from messages on the list that
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gem can handle video capture </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>and video files.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not too sure, is that right ??</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wanted to check this out, </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>so I downloaded gem 0.84-6 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and compiled it on my</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>RedHat 7 / Xfree86 4.1.0 / Mesa 3.5</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then, I tried to open the gem examples
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>but, for any of them, and whatever </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DISPLAY is set to ( localhost:0, 192.168.6.2:0, :0
),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I always get the following error </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>when I try to create a gem window </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2> :</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's not the common DISPLAY problem,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>( I did the "xhost +" even though I don't have to
do it,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the X server has been started as root </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and I'm running PD as root ),</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>so I think there's some incompatibility
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>with latest XFree and Mesa.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If gem can handle video, this can be worth digging
...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If it doesn't, that's just a bug
report.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheers,</FONT></DIV>
