Image displayed in a window - possible?

Hallo,
I just started to play with PB on Linux. (SUSE 9.1)
Works fine so far, except pictures.
Imagegadget is not implemented - ok.
2D Drawing works fine, but DrawImage gives a runtime error.
Sprites work, but opening a windowed screen opens always a new window on my system.
Has anybody tried this with API calls yet?
Greetings
Michael

I had some problems with images too...
Had the desktop set to 16bit,
changed to 24 or 32 bit and it worked...
(The DrawImage error anyway.)

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
(I have problems with Linux and my old graphics card and 24 bit...)

@OLEJR:
Perfect, you were right.
24 bit and 32 bit works fine.

Glad I could help

But why it is like this, I don't know...
These commands should work in 15/16bit screen modes,
or even 8bit...
Maybe someone else know...

Maybe this is the cause why my game does not work under Linux !?

Got to do some research!

Could be.. I found that anything "Image" under Linux
needs a 24/32bit display mode to work.
