Summary: wine and all fellow programs break after setting to anything other than 24-bit Product: Wine Version: 0.9.5. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-tools AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: me@benmassey.ca
When I enter winecfg, disable 'desktop double buffering' on the Graphics tab, and set colour depth to 32-bit, 16-bit, or 8-bit, it becomes impossible to open any Windows program with wine or even winecfg itself. The only remedy is to wipe out all the registry files and start anew.
After I do this, the following error message results on the console when I try to open winecfg or any Windows program with wine:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Serial number of failed request: 13 Current serial number in output stream: 14
This message is constant regardless of the colour depth chosen.
I am running Slackware Linux 10.1 with KDE 3.4.2 on a Celeron 1.0GhZ with 256 megabytes of RAM and an ATI Radeon video card that's fairly old, but unfortunately I can't remember the number.
