gem performance under linux

[Mark Danks]

  This is a common problem for everyone, I think.  I use a Voodoo2, which
allows me to do a direct TV signal out while still using my main video card
for the Pd window on the monitor.   However, the Voodoo2 is _really_ showing
its age these days.

  The system which I am hoping to try soon is the nVidia Quadro2 MXR
chipset.  Elsa has the Synergy III, which has dual monitor outputs, both
with hardware acceleration.  Have to see.

Later, Mark
