General / Re: Parallels Tools breaks SFML

Well I fixed it somehow with a lot of luck. I replaced:

    sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode(1024, 768), "SFML window");

with:

    sf::VideoMode desktop =  sf::VideoMode::getDesktopMode();
    sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode(1024, 768, desktop.bitsPerPixel), "SFML window");

-Spent hours.
-There's a lot about BadMatch invalid parameter attributes and X_CreateWindow, but not specifically with my scenario and most of it is way above my head.
-Yep, tried:

int main() {
    sf::RenderWindow app(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML window");}

I still get the same error with just this.

Sorry, I know the pool of people who've used Parallels with SFML is probably small and I wanted to maximize the possibility that someone who ran across the same issue might see it. I'll try VirtualBox, just wish I could get it working with Parallels since I paid for it and VB lacks retina support  Ah well.

The programs I write for class have to compile in Codeblocks for Xubuntu though and using it without Parallels Tools copy/paste, drag/drop, etc. is a huge pain. I realize that it's not officially supported, I was just wondering if anyone else came across this or understood the error message better to know if I might be able to patch or edit a config file or something to fix it.

General / Parallels Tools breaks SFML

« on: July 17, 2015, 12:54:21 am »

So I created a clean VM of Xubuntu 14.04.2 in Parallels 10.2.1 and I got SFML working properly with sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev. Then I rebooted and made sure it still worked, and after that the only thing I did was install Parallels Tools. Now when I try to run my sfml-app by command line or through Codeblocks I get the error message:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  74
  Current serial number in output stream:  75

Anyone know how Parallels Tools could be causing SFML to malfunction or how to fix this? I can't find anything online about compatibility issues between the two.

General / Error running sfml-app

« on: July 16, 2015, 08:14:33 am »

Hi, I just tried following the tutorial http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-linux.php on a fresh install of Xubuntu 15.04 in Parallels. I did the updates and upgrades, then ran sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev. I also downloaded and extracted SFML-2.3.1 to my Documents folder, but I wasn't sure if I needed to do both. After following the steps, when trying to run the sfml-app I created, I get the message:

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
  Serial number of failed request:  74
  Current serial number in output stream:  75

I also get the same error if I try it in Codeblocks. Can anyone tell me what this means? Did I need to also do something with the SFML download after I ran the sudo apt-get install libsfml-dev command or was that an either/or type of thing? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
