OK, so it seems it is not as simple as I had hoped. ProjectM uses openGL,
which means that it requires a physical window on the screen to do its
drawing stuff. Some time ago I did a hack with xscreensaver which involved
starting up an entire second Xwindows server (!) which was not attached to
any screen, and it did all its drawing there. Actually it is not as bad as
it sounds ! In that case it was possible to grab the contents of the window
without displaying it and then pull it straight into LiVES. I check if a
similar hack can be done here.
Otherwise, it may be possible by creating the window and then quickly
hiding it, but that is not a great solution either.
Regards,
Gabriel.

Want excitement?
Manually upgrade your production database.
When you want reliability, choose Perforce.
Perforce version control. Predictably reliable.
