I was able to run SL before but now I'm getting this error and I don't know how to fix it:

Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if your default bit-depth is 24 bpp. Don't worry about shoving it up to 32. 24 is what you want. Update your ATI drivers. The native Xorg ones won't work -- you need the ones from ATI. You may have difficulty with them, though. Switching to an NVidia based card would serve you better in Linux. |

I've had this problem as well, or something very similar.
I think in my case it stemmed from an update I did on my system (Mandriva 2006) which broke the nVidia drivers I was using. Not sure which upgraded package broke it, but reinstalling the nVidia driver fixed the problem for me.
You might also need to look again at the xorg.conf file. I think mine got changed in the update as well.

Thank you, I managed to update my drivers and...
Now I'm getting lock-ups and black screens when I go to play SL

From: Drake Bacon You probably ether upgraded your kernel or Xorg. Ether or will do it. Xorg was updated and I believe that my problem stemmed from this. The kernel version is still reporting as 2.6.12-12mdk, so that has not been touched. I did also have the kernel sources installed from when the nVidia driver was compiled. This got updated as well and caused problems in reinstallation of the driver. For this I had to remove the kernel sources and reinstall the 2.6.12-12 version. I've remembered to uninstall it again so I don't have to go through the same problem in future. |
