It looks like some illegal code >> request to my VGA card. ??? Or does the app on the Solaris >> box need some tweekinhg? Yes, the app seems to need some mods. It is likely that this error results from a XCreatePixmap-call, which is a Xlib-function. It takes 5 parameters: Display, Drawable, int width, int height, int depth. Since the value of the failed request is 0x8 is would suspect that it is related to the depth-value in the XCreatePixmap-call. Then first of all i would check if you are running a monochrome-X-server on your FBSD-machine. If yes, this is most likely your problem. The easiest way to solve this problem is to use a X-Server that supports a depth of >1. It may be not trivial to patch your app. Best case would be to just change the depth in the XCreatePixmap-call. But as you already imagine, there could be many other Xlib-calls relying on a depth of 8. Good Luck. Malte Lance malte@webmore.com > This is a problem with the application on your Solaris box.
