How's your X configured? Maybe the color depth is the problem.

[drcode]

Just wondering, but are you trying to run on an X-server attached to another machine?

[camje_lemon]

Re,
I use 24depth and the XServer is on the local machine.
Thanks.

Same error here with Exult 1.2 Stable. I'm using Arch Linux 0.7 Wombat, 2.6.12-ARCH kernel, X.Org 6.8.2, radeon open source video driver.

Maybe we have a bug with 24-bit color. Is anyone running successfully with 24-bit X-windows?

[Merc248]

It ran just fine in 24-bit color in X-windows with the ATI binary drivers.

By the way, I'm using the MergedFB feature in the radeon kernel module for two monitors; could that be why?

[wjp]

Probably caused by the midi driver. Try switching to another one, such as timidity, fmopl or alsa.

[Merc248]

Whoa... man, that fixed it. I disabled MIDI in the exult.cfg file, and it now works perfectly. Never would've guessed... thanks.

[drcode]

A bad MIDI driver caused an X failure? Wierd!

[Gradilla Dragon]

Maybe the X error is caused because the proper cleanup during abortion is not being done...
