[PD] [GEM] gem and video ?

[Yves Degoyon]

sorry, no.

my card has direct rendering, all mesa demos work fine.
it's an Acer Lab Aladdin i1 chipset
which does graphics and audio.

the problem is that it's the latest release
of Mesa ( 3.5 ) and Redhat 7.

and although you get this error,
some gem examples work afterwards.
