[PD] Can't create Gem window

[Ed Kelly]

After adding
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1

to $home/.bashrc
glxgears works fine, but not Gem. Still the same. ?!

glxinfo gives me a lot of output, and the table seems to indicate better-than the values you gave below, e.g.

Vis  Vis   Visual Trans  buff lev render DB ste  r   g   b   a  aux dep ste  accum buffers  MS   MS
 ID Depth   Type  parent size el   type     reo sz  sz  sz  sz  buf th  ncl  r   g   b   a  num bufs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0x23  0 TrueColor    0     32  0  rgba   1   0   8   8   8   8   0   24  8  16  16  16  16   0   0

I can't find GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER
Could it be that I need to add some lines to xorg.conf (wherever it is in Lucid Ubuntu)

Hmmm...
glxgears gives me this:

Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual


I tried to find a way of adjusting this in the graphics card application, but no luck...

Gem wants to create a 24bit buffer, so if you are running your X in
8bit/palette mode it will bail out.

this is what Gem requests:
{
GLX_RED_SIZE>=4,
GLX_GREEN_SIZE>=4,
GLX_BLUE_SIZE>=4,

GLX_DEPTH_SIZE>=16,

GLX_STENCIL_SIZE>=8,

GLX_ACCUM_RED_SIZE>=8,
GLX_ACCUM_GREEN_SIZE>=8,
GLX_ACCUM_BLUE_SIZE>=8,

GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER
}

check the output of glxinfo, whether your config supports such a setting.
