I've been trying to play a couple of MPEGs.  I've downloaded every player
I could get my hands on.  All of them cannot play it, and many give me an
error message like below:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)
  Value in failed request:  0x28105800
  Serial number of failed request:  13
  Current serial number in output stream:  16

Some mpeg player's don't give the error, they just "try" to play,
ultimately frying my screen.  Well, not frying it.  Colors splatter
everywhere like my screen just got solarized or turned into a negative
image.

What is going on here?  I think it has to do with my color modes not being
right, but I don't know how increase them or do whatever it is I need to
do.

I'm using GNOME/Sawfish, -- not preinstalled.. I'm not even sure I got
them in OK :)  Some graphics apps like XV, Gimp, and Netscape work ok, but
at below normal performance.
