Hi ago, sorry to keep bothering you, but I get the same error when I supply
the -screen argument also:
winFinishScreenInitFB () - Could not allocate frame buffer
Fatal server error:
Couldn't add screen 0
I tried:
XWin.exe :2 -screen 0 800x600x16
XWin.exe :2 -screen 1 800x600x16
XWin.exe :2 -screen 2 800x600x16
...and many other combinations...
all give the same error :(
Regards,
Chris
