I changed the Windows UI recently to use the WGL_ARB_pixel_format extension to query pixel formats instead of the standard GDI calls when that extension is available. Unfortunately, the ATI drivers have a bug where some pixel format attributes cause the driver to arbitrarily give you an invalid pixel format that just produces a red window. The ioquake3 project ran into a similar problem: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3526 I've pushed a patch that causes the Windows UI to always use the GDI functions. Let me know if that fixes your problem. -Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
