Back Creation Failed

[Pieter-Bas IJdens]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. It does not really help me though. The batch 
file I use does specify screen 0 for me already.

Tweaking the other parameters does not really help me very much (I did 
manage to crash it with messing up the palette though for 1280x1024x24 ! :) )

Must the parameters be the same as the ones I am now using for WinNT?
When I specify the resolution I am using:

   XWin.exe -screen 0 1280x1024x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0

I get exactly the same error.

Maybe I misunderstand the docs?

Subject: Back Creation Failed


Hi,

Today I downloaded and installed the latest binaries of the XFree86 stuff
for cygwin and whenever I try to start it I get the following message (also
with startwin from a command (not bash) prompt)

    Back Creation Failed
    887601b3

Configuration:
    Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with SP1 applied.
    ATI Rage 128 GL SG AGP with 16M memory

I browsed through the list archives and the FAQ but I could not find the
answer to my problem there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

    Pieter-Bas
