RE: XWin.exe fails as does startxwin.bat


Dave,

You are correct, in two out of three cases :)

However, I typically neglect to tell people to use -fullscreen as part of
troubleshooting because they may explicitly be using the GDI blitter
(-engine 1), or XWin may be falling back on the GDI blitter, in which case
the bit depth is not changed when using -fullscreen.  Rather than deal with
these exception cases I try to tell them just enough to get them a working
server, after that, they can do as they choose :)

Thanks for answering questions on the list, it does ease our load,

Harold
