GEM: Graphics Environment for Multimedia
GEM: ver: 0.90
GEM: compiled: Sep  7 2004
GEM: maintained by IOhannes m zmoelnig
GEM: Authors :  Mark Danks (original version on irix/windows)
GEM:            Chris Clepper (macOS-X)
GEM:            Daniel Heckenberg (windows)
GEM:            James Tittle (macOS-X)
GEM:            IOhannes m zmoelnig (linux/windows)
Gem has been compiled with FTGL !
...
GEM: loaded images: /home/freak/big/audio/pd/dev/compo/demo/m/pin .jpg from 0 to 1 skipping 1
GEM: Only using 8 color bits
Direct Rendering enabled!
GEM: Start rendering

So it is using FTGL, but maybe FTGL on Debian isn't using Direct
Rendering? I'll have to check this ... 

Ciao
