Hi,

Same result I am afraid.

(console out if it helps...)

$ XWin.exe -screen 0 640x480x8 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
pwin->width = 00000280
pwin->height = 000001e0
pwin->paddedWidth = 00000280
pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000008
calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory

(same when I do not specify black and white pixel)
