:) Yes, right model loading stopped working .. well I didn't change
anything, so there is a problem is a problem with Mesa/OpenGL
compatibility.

I simply couldn't find the time to debug the problem, I don't know the
code that well that is involved with the object loading, it could be as
well a problem with the library Mark used for object loading,
so actually we should use another library, that supports more formats,
and sort of redo the whole thing.

That was at a point when it wasn't possible to have gem externals, I 
wanted to stop hacking the stable base of Gem.

Still, here is the external ...
ftp://xdv.org/pub/gige/gem/pix_movieQT-0.1.tar.gz 
it supports a few Quicktime codecs, and depends on quicktime4linux.
