Well, you still need an actual video card rather than that Intel chip to do much
of anything useful in GEM.  pix_texture2 is actually gone from GEM now, and in
any case it doesn't really do arbitrary image sizes on Windows it just uses
black pixels to fill in the rest of the power of two texture.  It's very
inefficient.
