Description Shaun Crampton 2004-07-15 08:34:49 UTC

I get this error when running dosbox with ati-drivers installed
CONFIG: Using default settings. Create a configfile to change them
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  149 (MIT-SHM)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  3 (X_ShmPutImage)
  Serial number of failed request:  49
  Current serial number in output stream:  50

with dosbox-cvs it puts this in the console, with dosbox 0.61 it leaves the screen in 'zoomed in' mode with the text accross it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ati-drivers, run opengl-update etc
2. emerge dosbox or dosbox-cvs
3. dosbox -fullscreen

Comment 1 Shaun Crampton 2004-07-15 10:14:06 UTC

Just found a workaround... You need to create a dosbox config file with output=overlay in it. Could this be added to the info on the ebuild ?

Comment 2 Shaun Crampton 2004-07-15 10:54:57 UTC

Thh above only works for the cvs build

Added a warning to dosbox-cvs.  Thanks for the bug report.
