[PD] [GEM] gem and video ?

[Yves Degoyon]

a big OOOPS !!!

I checked my card with 'glxinfo'
and it says :

Direct Rendering : No

I thought it would have all 3D features but no.

Anyway, it's gonna be hard to change
on my laptop and, besides, as it fits me needs,
I won't try to do it.

thanks and sorry for the confusion.

Yves Degoyon.
