Major/Minor Opcodes of failed requests

[Ingo Bürk]

Hi Lloyd,

see here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/Protocol/OpCodes/

In your case you are trying to allocate way too much memory. This can
happen, for example, if you by accident try to create enormously large
pixmaps. Of course there's many things that can cause this. Decoding the
opcode will help you debug it.

Ingo
