Hi, all! I'm trying to run DooM, and I'm getting the following in the error
stream:

S_Init: default sfx volume 8
sndserver: not found
Using MITSHM extension
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  89 (X_StoreColors)
  Value in failed request:  0xff
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  18

What I'm trying to do is run the DooM binary on my NetBSD/i386-1.3B system,
using my MacOS machine (with MI/X) as the server. I can run other things
this way with no trouble... I'm not precisely sure what to do about this,
however... FWIW, netbsddoom dumps core if I don't set the display on which
MI/X is running to 256 colours. With 256 colours set, things proceed some-
what further...  netbsddoom gets as far as putting up a window, but there
ends up being nothing in the window, and after a minute or so the window
disappears and the doom process exits.

Thanks in advance for help! This is, of course, not a critical thing to
get running, but it would be fun to have, anyway.
