hello wayne,

i have seen the aforementioned error when using the gl rendering with
a true color visual. you may want to experiment with using different
visual ids. this can be done by setting an environment variable or
by an appropriate .avsrc entry, reference man avs. to figure out the
possible visuals use the xdpyinfo client.

regards,
