[PD] pix_video not working on Mac OS 10.6 ?

[rene beekman]

OK, so it was the 32-bit version I had installed all along.
I downloaded and installed a fresh copy and tried again. The problem persists.
This is when using the pix_video help patch.

Pd window prints this error:
error: [pix_videoDarwin]: SGIdle failed with error -9402
[pix_videoDarwin]: no video yet
