It probably means it can't allocate any color cells. Sounds
to me like your app doesn't work in depth 16. It might work in
depth 24, but maybe it only works in depth 8. But even in depth
8, it probably won't be able to get 128 colors due to the render
extension eating up the default map. Try depth 24.
