#428 Fatal error, could not get visual.

[Thomas Sparber]

Hi Irrlicht Group,

currently I'm facing a bug when creating an Irrlicht Device. I'm initializing the Irrlicht device with the following parameters:
SIrrlichtCreationParameters param;
param.DriverType = EDT_OPENGL;
param.WindowSize.set(1440,900);
param.EventReceiver = &myReceiver;
param.Doublebuffer = true;
param.Fullscreen = false;
device = createDeviceEx(param);

When I change the driver for example to Burningsvideo, the error disappears.

I'm developing on Linux x86_64 Debian Sid with Irrlicht version 1.8.1.

Thanks in advance & Regards
Thomas

Hi Irrlicht Group,

I could solve the problem now partially. In my opinion it has to do with bits per pixel.
When I create the Irrlicht dive with fullscreen mode, I am able to create the IrrlichtDevice.
I guess that in window mode, Irrlicht detects the wrong bits per pixels and OpenGL can't create the visual if the bits per pixel differ from the actual bits per pixel. (Is that understandable?? :-))

Regards Thomas
