Symptom:
On a Sun Ultra 10 with Creator 3d card running Solaris 2.8 with the
default Xsun configuration, squeak(version 3.0) prints this to stderr on
startup and then exits, even before opening up a window:
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
Serial number of failed request: 8
Current serial number in output stream: 15
Diagnosis:
The problem seems to be related to the fact that the root window bitdepth
is 8, while a 24-bit visual is available. I suspect it is incorrect color
handling in src/unix/sqXWindow.c. If anyone knows Xlib well enough to fix
this, I can provide more information, like the output of xwininfo on the
root window, and of xdpyinfo.
