[PD] Where can I download Gem for Linux ( not a debian distr ibution)

[rat at telecoma.net]

as far as i know there is no working DRI support for 
ATI cards . rendering is then without hradware accelleration and gem will
give some error messages. u can then still use gem (from my experiance),
but the single biffer mode will not work and gem will be unstable.

i cant explain why or if there is a solution for using gem without
hardware accelleration - this is just what i experiance (i m sure mark or 
guenter are knowing why :-).
i use a matrox g400 - dri works perfect with it.

cheers
