RE: [Freeciv] Display

["Todd Goodman" <tsg1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you using the MI/X X server?

I've seen people report this error with MI/X.

Unfortunately MI/X doesn't seem to work with Freeciv (it's reportedly
X11R5 based).

People have reported success with Starnet (http://www.starnet.com I think).
It has a one or two hour trial but you can reportedly restart it again
(please
check the license).
