[GEM-dev] GEM: Unable to create window - Mac OS X on an AppleTV

[Jonathan J. Davis]

Hello Chris,

Is that what that "MAC: no info.context" is about, no OpenGL?

The AppleTV has an nVidia GeForce go7300 GPU, which should I think support 
OpenGL 2.0 (There is a video on youtube of someone supposedly playing 
Marathon Aleph One using OpenGL on his AppleTV).

If this is definatly the case, I will have to then start to find what is 
preventing openGL from being loaded (?).

Thank you,
Jonathan
