- hello wayne,
-
- i have seen the aforementioned error when using the gl rendering with
- a true color visual. you may want to experiment with using different
- visual ids. this can be done by setting an environment variable or
- by an appropriate .avsrc entry, reference man avs. to figure out the
- possible visuals use the xdpyinfo client.

- regards,
