Hello,

GrafX2 will not run in Fedora 35, it appears for a split second and then
instantly exits. When running it from the terminal I see the below error
message.

X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 346
Current serial number in output stream: 347

This occurs after installing GrafX2 via the package manager in Fedora
using the command "sudo dnf install grafX2", but also via downloading the
RPM. I have also tried to compile the project from source but I get a
separate error of "SDL.h: No such file or directory" despite having
installed all the SDL2 headers and development libraries.

Comment (by PulkoMandy):

Hi,

Which configuration of GrafX2 is built by Fedora packagers? Does it use
SDL1, SD2, or direct X11?

Is Fedora using Wayland now, and if so, how are these X request handled
(sorry I'm a bit out of touch with the current state of the Linux software
stack)?

You probably need to use "make API=sdl2" to compile the SDL2 version (the
default is still SDL1 in the Makefile). Maybe you can use "make API=sdl2
NO_X11=1" for better compatibility with Wayland.
