Seems that gtk is no longer compatible with 8 bit displays. I'm running on a NetBSD-2.0/alpha box but the display is set to a Solaris-2.9/sparc box (Ultra/10) that only has an 8 bit display. I have gtk2+-2.8.20 cairo-1.2.0 When I run even a simple program like the gtk-demo program which comes with gtk, I get the following: % gtk-demo Error: Cairo does not yet support the requested image format: Depth: 8 Alpha mask: 0x00000000 Red mask: 0x00000000 Blue mask: 0x00000000 Green mask: 0x00000000 Please file an enhacement request (quoting the above) at: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cairo assertion "NOT_REACHED" failed: file "cairo-image-surface.c", line 144, function "_cairo_format_from_pixman_format" Abort When I display to a different X server that has more colors then things work. Unfortunately, my ultra/10 is one of my primary systems and upgrading to a true color display is just not in the works.
