Hello all,<br>
<br>
After installing recordmydesktop and Mplayer, and adding support for mpeg3,<br>
Quicktime and ffmpeg, then recompiling gem, i get the following error<br>
everytime I try to create a Gemwin:<br>
<br>
on the terminal:<br>
<br>
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".<br>
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".<br>

well, it seems like your Xserver is missing the GLX (openGL for X) extensions. since Gem highly depends on openGL, it refuses to continue...<br>
<br>
which driver are you using? probably your Xorg.conf needs tweaking.<br>
<br>
do other openGL apps work? a good start is glxgears (if this doesn't work, chances are minimal to non-existant that Gem will...)<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Any help will be appreciated.<br>

if glxgears do work, try setting the environmental variable GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT to 1. (setting this variable can be considered the first voodoo to do when problems occur)<br>
