hello,
    As a total X tyro, I'm trying to open a 24-bit X window on
our SPARC with a GS board. I know this *can* be done, as "xv",
"xloadimage", and so forth all display 24 bit images using X.
I try this, a modified version of the code in xloadimage:

	XVisualInfo vinfo;

	display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
	scrn = DefaultScreen(display);
	if (XMatchVisualInfo(display,scrn,24,TrueColor,&vinfo) == 0)
	    fprintf(stderr,"vinfo botch.\n");
	swa_img.save_under = 0;
	swa_img.border_pixel = 0;
	window = XCreateWindow(
	    display,
	    RootWindow(display,scrn),	/* parent */
	    0, 0, 256, 256, 0,	/* offset, size, border */
	    24,			/* depth */
	    InputOutput,	/* class */
	    vinfo.visual,	/* visual */
	    CWSaveUInder | CWBorderPixel,
	    &swa_imag);

This barfs with "BadMatch", minor opcode 0.

    xdpyinfo says that yes indeed, it has a 24 class visual,
which is indeed found by XMatchVisualInfo. If I change the "24" to "8",
and use "CopyFromParent" for the visual, then it works, so I think
the other parameters are OK.


    any help greatly appreciated,

-Ken
