Can I use Babelgum on Windows Vista or on Linux?
At the moment only Windows XP and MacOS X is completely supported. The development of the Babelgum application on other platforms is in progress.
Babelgum is not compatible with certain Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator cards. Indeed, the latest implementation of the drivers does not support some of the Open-GL features used by Babelgum. We expect that this issue will be solved in a future version of these drivers.
