Fix for Gem crashing X11 when using fglrx
Up to Table of Contents
If you're using the fglrx driver & X11 is crashing on opening GEM patches, you need to set the environmental variable of GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1 by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile:
export GEM_SINGLE_CONTEXT=1
if you are using a different shell (e.g. "tcsh") the procedure might be slightly different.
