<EDIT : Fixed THAT problem, now for another problem...>
I'm getting window creation errors, telling me to make sure that my desktop is set to 32 bit color, which for all I can tell, it is.
I'm running Fedora Core 4 on an Athlon 1800+ with an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, I have the ATI drivers and their kernel mod installed.
After reading other threads, I've gone in and checked my xorg.conf file. I'm using the fglrx drivers, and my default color depth is set to 24, but this is apparently where I want it?

SL will throw that message for a variety of reasons, unfortunately. If there's no X server running, that's the error you get! Check to make sure you have direct rendering. Run "glxinfo | grep direct" and it should say "direct rendering: yes" If direct rendering is already a yes, then it's probably an issue with a graphics library, or something else obscure. |

there's a DRI section you have to add in xorg.conf, AFAIK.
