It should be using MesaGL software render not restarting however.


I am using 16bpp color and it restarts the desktop. I have MesaGL
installed. I can run ZSNES ( super nintendo emulator) running at
1024x768 full screen using opengl but thats it. Anything else that I try
(using full screen) will restart the desktop, or a game like Return to
Castle Wolfenstein (Linux version, minimum requirements p2 450 128MG
ram) will restart the desktop. 

Here is some info that might be useful after running xdpyinfo
