XWin -multiwindows problem

[terry]

Harold,

Thanks - I get the same log output using 16 and 8 bit.  I don't have 
other choices with the driver I'm using.  Both systems have ATI graphics 
cards of type Rage 128.  The working system has a specific monitor 
(Hitachi 751), while the non-working one is using Plug-and-Pray with a 
NEC 77F.  If you think it's worthwhile I can play with the 98 configuration.

Try changing the display depth on the problem machine from 32 bits to 
24, 16, or 15 bits.  In fact, try each one of those depths if the first 
one you try doesn't work.

Report your results to the mailing list please.

not modified startxwin.bat, and everything works fine 'non-multiwindow'. 
  I cannot determine how to deal with the error in the XWin log below. 
Many thanks for any help.
