[PD] "error: GEM: Do not continue!"

[Mark Danks]

  GEM does some "tricks" on startup to find out what OpenGL capabilities
your machine/graphics card has.  This is the "const context".  This message
is GEM telling you that it could not create an OpenGL rendering
context...which means that you really shouldn't continue.

  The first error is complaining that it can't open the X display to create
the rendering context.  I would assume that there is something strange going
on with the dual head setup.  Let me know if you need more info with the X
setup code.

Later, Mark
