[PD] [GEM] error in creating gemwin in fc8

[Jaime Oliver]

For some reason my computer stopped using the nvidia driver and that was
causing the problem, so I used that driver again and it all seems to work
now.
although in theory it should still run without the nvidia card right?
In any case, I needed to solve this problem fast to work on some video
stuff.
thanks for the response, I was looking forward to the voodoo...
