[Xquartz-dev] 2.4.0_rc2

[Jeremy Huddleston]

When you say, the "8 bit version" ... what do you mean?  None of our  
architectures are 8bit.  I'm guessing you mean the color depth at that  
point... in which case you would need to be in PseudoColor ... and at  
which point, I don't expect anything AIGLX to work (and I don't expect  
to fix that any time soon).

As for the renderer error in the "32-bit version" ... I assume you are  
trying to use a TrueColor visual... please debug what visual you are  
trying to use.  There should be no 32bit visuals listed.  You should  
only see 15 and 24 bit GLX visuals... I was planning on adding 32bit  
GLX visuals at some point, but it's not a high priority as I don't  
have the resources to adequately support them all unless there is a  
demand... but these issues are not really specific to x86_64 ... you  
should see the same problem with i386...
