[Cuis] Display Driver Missing (not)

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Dan,

Have you tried installed the 32 bit libraries as specified in 
https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/blob/master/Documentation/GettingStarted-UsingGitAndCommandline.md 
?

BTW, the current mail list is cuis-dev at cuis-smalltalk.org . Chances of 
getting answers here are much lower.

Cheers,
