unfortunately i do not know, how planetCCRMA compile Gem; there should 
be a planetCCRMA-specific readme somewhere that might explain this.

an USB-webcam might load the drivers automatically.

what exactly do you mean by "lines" ?

are they somehow connected to the video-input ? (e.g. you see something 
when you wave your hand in front of the lens, but it is not what you 
expect) ?

you might have problems with rectangle-textures.
do you still have problems when you send a [mode 0( to [pix_texture] ?
nvidia-drivers should support rectangle-textures (this is: the width and 
height are not-a-power-of-2: e.g: 320 instead of 256), but i don't know 
what gfx-card is in the ibm-7500.

i do not believe, that it has something to do with using dual-head or not.

right.
you could use a message [create, 1( to instantly turn rendering on.
you can use [gemmouse] to grab the mouse from a gem-window.
