Hi folks,
when I start llxdoom (-iwad /path/to/doom2.wad) I get the following error:
I_StartupTimer...
I_StartupGraphics...
Using XFree86-VidModeExtension Version 2.2
Using MITSHM extension
X Error of failed request: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Resource id in failed request: 0x23
Serial number of failed request: 17
Current serial number in output stream: 20
I tried running lsdldoom but that freezes my box completely! My monitor switches itself off (as if it wouldn't get a signal from the graphics card anymore). Switching to a console doesn't help either. I logged in via ssh, killed X etc, but the monitor still doesn't respond.
Can someone help me with these 2 issues? I'm running Linux 2.4.21, XFree 4.3, glibc 2.3.1 and the latest SDL release with a Matrox G450 (using the standard "mga" driver for XFree).
Thanks in advance,
Tilman
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
* I sent /etc/X11/XF86Config to you
* The same error occurs when running llxdoom with "-window"
* llxdoom freezes my box completely (like lsdldoom) when running with "-opengl"

I get the same kind of error:

Using MITSHM extension
X Error of failed request: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Resource id in failed request: 0x25
Serial number of failed request: 17
Current serial number in output stream: 20
This is without any command line switches, but get the same with -window. Using -opengl will work, but only fullscreen and not above 400x300 (setting higher res. will segfault llxdoom)

Have investigated the same error and have not resolved it.
The X-window calls return "no available modes".
It must have something to do with running a game made for a color palette mode under a non-paletted mode, which the current screen is using.
Trying this with a window is conceptually difficult as that would require
a paletted display within a screen that is in a non-paletted mode.
You would think that there would be some palette to non-paletted mode display conversion built-in to X11, but I have not found it.
I tried to fix it, but only moved the crash point further down the code.
I got SDL running, ( on Linux 2.4.31, using SDL compiled from source,
on AMD Hammer, with motherboard sound that finally worked
after a year of monkeying with ALSA drivers (mixer problems)).
Looking in the SDL code for how it does this is probably the next step.

Is it possible to copy/paste or send me your XF86Config file ? I think, but I'm not sure, the bug is with some mode not properly supported by Legacy.
Also, is it working if you use the -window command line switch (or change that in your legacy config file which light be in ~/.legacy/config.cfg) ?
Finally, did you try that in OpenGL mode (with -opengl command line switch), or in software mode (without -opengl command line switch)
