Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap x86 desktop with a midrange or
high-end "gaming" video card to use as your visualization box. If you
are running an Altix they really aren't geared for this sort of thing.
The cost of the extra IDL license will be worth it.

Windows will offer the best performance and driver support. If you are
going to run linux then nVidia is your only real choice as ATI's linux
support has been lacking.

I don't follow the development closely but I don't think GDL has any
object graphics functionality.
