[PD] gem pix_texture crashes PD

[altern]

hi

i was testing a gem patch on a computer from a university i am giving a 
workshop, this is supposed to be a good machine for graphics. When i 
import a texture and open the gem window it crashes inmediately. The 
machine is running win XP with latest PD 0.40.3 extended.

i used the Gem's pix_texture help patch to try different settings with 
"quality" and "mode" also tried different images. Same problem always. I 
run pd from console and it did not print any error message at all, just 
quits.

the machine has a special graphic card, it is a matrox Parhelia LX, from 
matrox millenium P-Series. I think it is used for stereoscopy or 
something like that. Could it be that graphics card and Gem do no like 
each other?

Ah, I tried with two different machines with same card, same problem in 
both.

thanks
