Charles,

Since both xw and gf use the X server, make sure your $DISPLAY
variable is correctly set and reachable.

Also ensure that $GEMEXE is pointing to the correct location.
If you upgraded from a previous version, and your path or
$GEMEXE is still pointing to the old drivers, that could be a problem

Next, if still having trouble, make sure your current working
directory doesn't have file or directories
with those device driver names that could confuse the search
for the driver.
