[PD] Does GEM need X-Server to be running

[Jose Luis Santorcuato]

Yes, if you use a pdp2gem or pdp library... but if you only use GEM dont
need X (I think that)....

Best regards from chile.... and current error... when i open pdp the x
screeen open but not show the video... i need restart pd with the x open and
works fine.

Best regards from Chile

José
