wine users - Oct 2007 - Colour depth detection fails in wine (16 bit)

Hi All,

I'm trying to run a school CAD app called Prodesktop in wine 0.9.46 and
have a problem with the detection of colour depth. X is set to run at
1024x768 which is fine as far as the app goes and the colour depth is
set to 24 bit. 

When the app runs, it complains that it requires 16 bit colour, or
greater and then shuts down. Is this a problem anyone else has run into
possibly with a solution?

Cheers,

jools

	Please report a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org .
	In your bug report please provide following information along with the OS and 
WINE you are using:

	1) What happens if you try to run the program in X server with 16 bit depth?
	2) What happens if you try to run the program in virtual desktop? If you 
don't know how, this is simple, just execute:

wine explorer /desktop=800x600,desktop_name_you_like program.exe

	Filling a bug report is very important if you want to get your bug fixed 
because most developers don't read wine-users mailing list.
	Thank you for using WINE.
