Hi Holly, > What video card do you have in there, and what drivers are you using > to provide 3D acceleration for it? ASUS V9400-X/TD / Nvidia MX4000. Works fine with the xorg "nv" driver (AFAIK I have no need for 3D accel: I am not into games or video). Perhaps I should try the nvidea driver (SUSE did not recognise/configure my card during the installation so I had to do it by hand :-( > I ask because-- as far as I know, if Wine needs to switch color depth, > it should do that itself... but the proprietary ATI drivers only run > at 24-bit color depth. As a test for driver support "startx -- :1 -depth 8" starts OK: my backup plan is to start a new X server to run the program, but this is a bit OTT. I just tried it, but the program now gives a different error !! X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 58 Current serial number in output stream: 59 But thanks for the suggestion, Simon _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
