Someone explained that part of | the code expects the depth to be have some properties that don't apply | to 24bit depth (or, I guess, 32bit). I'm sorry that I don't remember | the details. Yes, exactly. The bug was, libXg only does power-of-two depths, so 24 bits doesn't work. Annoyingly, most X servers don't let you ask for more than one depth visual, which would be the obvious workaround for something like sam.
