SetPixelFormat failing

[Lane R. <la...@if...>]

Recently I found that a SetPixelFormat call in Quesa was failing;
specifically the line

    if (!SetPixelFormat(theContext->theDC, pixelFormat, &pixelFormatDesc))

in "./Renderers/Common/GLDrawContext.c"


Nothing had changed, except I updated my video drivers. This has probably
been the cause of almost all of my non-solvable OpenGL issues with Bugdom
and Nanosaur with a lot of customers who purchased one of these games
(ie, lots of refunds).

Anyone have any ideas on why this would fail? It's when it's creating a
new GL context, and the pixel format's "cColorBits" are zero (meaning, I
would assume, the default).

Anyway, the fix I found was to remove the error checking on this line;
when removed everything works just fine.

Thoughts on a "proper" solution welcome.


PS: Also, as I lost the source to the version of Quesa for Nanosaur,
anyone willing to help look at getting the CVS version of Quesa working
with Nanosaur (and/or Bugdom for that matter) would have my eternal thanks :)
