yes, I got bitten by it too.
the (last line of) the big multiline comment
some lines above this error message in screen-x11.c
seems 'instructive' (lack of better word).
I have not recently tried to (re)build drawterm -
things may have changed since I last looked at it.

(It may pay off to check) if p9p graphic apps work for you,
(and if so,) if the drawterm code maybe can be updated to
do the same as in p9p src/libdraw/x11-init.c - I think 
that code is quite similar to the screen-x11.c .


At the time, I worked around this in drawterm by
commenting out the code that initializes xscreendepth
using DefaultDepth (maybe only necessary in my env),
and instead setting xscreendepth explicitly in the
blocks associated with the tests that use XMatchVisualInfo,
and changing the order of these tests such that I use an
xscreendepth < 24 which avoids the code that
leads to this message.
