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. _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
