How to make "Vice" run on Fedora 7?

Hello there!

I've got problems with running "Vice" on my Fedora 7. Installation process goes fine, however running the application ends without success. The screen is not getting initialized, it remains blank (black) whatever action I try to invoke.

Here's the screenshot after running "x64":

And here's the console output:

[djgruby@localhost bin]$ ./x64
Reading configuration file `/home/djgruby/.vice/vicerc'.
Unknown resource `openGL_sync'.

*** VICE Version 1.21 ***

(edit)
What I tried first is to change this:

In line 123/124 of (viceinstall)src/arch/unix/x11/xaw/uicolor.c:
Code:

im = XCreateImage(display, visual, x11ui_get_display_depth(),
ZPixmap, 0, (char *)data, 1, 1, 8, 1);

change this to:
Code:

im = XCreateImage(display, visual, x11ui_get_display_depth(),
ZPixmap, 0, (char *)data, 1, 1, 8, 0);

this is a long known issue i think. I have a deb here for a working version, but no rpm sorry. Youll have to go the long route of recompiling it all :)

Or try Vice v1.22:
- Fixed the "black screen" bug caused by some X11 library security update.

Hello again!

Thanks everyone for such a quick answer and all your help!

I haven't even noticed that there's been 1.22 already released (I've been trying with 1.21). That clearly solves my problem! Thanks a lot!

This is a good thing to have an emulator here. It will help me to get back with the C-64 activities a little bit. ;)

Regards,
DJ Gruby/Oxyron.
