[B2-devel] GDK BadMatch error

[[RSU]The_Assassin|BuF <the...@zi...>]

Okay, we all know by now it's a problem with visuals.
I always run my X server with TrueColor visual, though when
 setting the debug define to 1, it said a DirectColor
 visual is available. (Don't have the exact output, but the
 D(bug(*)) said the vis variable in video_x.cpp was set to
 DirectColor)
It seemed to happen exactly when Basilisk wanted to show
 the window, thus when it tried to write and discovered it
 isn't a DirectColor visual at all. (Below the "// Show
 window" comment in driver_xf86dga)

What I was thinking is, AFAIK, the new DGA 2.0 extension,
 included in XF86 4.0 and up, allows (unlike the old 1.0
 version) depth and visual switching. Maybe the X server
 returned that the DirectColor visual is available and can
 be switched to, unlike the code, which seems to assume the
 current visual is DirectColor. So maybe we just need it to
 support the new 2.0 dga extension and actually do the
 visual/depth switch instead of just resolution. Has anyone
 tried to run BII 0.9 on the old 3.x XFree86 servers? They
 don't have dga 2.0 it and might work on them.

BTW, check the README.DGA in the xc/doc directory of the
 XFree86 source for information about dga 2.0.
