Hi, Microsoft Flight Simulator fails in the same way and doesn't run. I made a
workaround attached hereafter. Analysis:

Even if I set the (not very well known) registry key "ScreenDepth" to 32, the
game still fails in the same way. Here's what happens (from x11drv_main.c):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if (!get_config_key( hkey, appkey, "ScreenDepth", buffer, sizeof(buffer) ))
        screen_depth = atoi(buffer);

So we have a 32-bit resolution if we set this registry key
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later on:

/* If OpenGL is available, change the default visual, etc as necessary */
    if ((desktop_vi = X11DRV_setup_opengl_visual( display )))
    {
        visual       = desktop_vi->visual;
        screen       = ScreenOfDisplay(display, desktop_vi->screen);
        screen_depth = desktop_vi->depth;
        XFree(desktop_vi);
    }

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now we end up with a screendepth of 24 again. The only solution I see is the
workaround in the patch attached hereafter. SplinterCell Pandora and MicroSoft
Flight Simulator X start fine with this patch, and the registry key set.
