QRack: Couldn't set fullscreen DIB mode

[Baker]

This question has surfaced in the forum 3 times, so it may come up even more frequently. Might be good to put the answer on the Qrack page somewhere.

If all else fails use -refreshrate 60 in your commandline shortcut

Your probably either have an old version or qrack, (get new one here: http://www.quakeone.com/qrack), or you are trying to set -refreshrate on the command line higher than your monitor supports, ususually only 60hz on a flatpanel.

That error appears every now and then with an ATI it seems. In my case sometimes quitting certain programs help (eg winamp), no idea why. Also closing all windows or running some other engine first might help.

Heard about this before do you have an ATI card? DIB is device independant bitmap, tried rebooting?

also make sure your qrack command line looks like the example on this page http://www.quakeone.com/qrack/index.php?page=guide

Having a problem w/ Qrack, it says when i try to run it...
Quake Error: Couldn't set fullscreen DIB mode.

I usually use WQPro, and Joequake runs just fine. Any ideas?
