[SOLVED] emacs crash after update to v29

Hello there!

After updating emacs to version 29 (already tried 29.1-3 and 29.1-4) it crashed with:

$ emacs
X protocol error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) on protocol request 91
Serial no: 1035

When compiled with GTK, Emacs cannot recover from X disconnects.
This is a GTK bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
For details, see etc/PROBLEMS.
Fatal error 6: Aborted

Ignoring init file (-Q) shows same error.  Running as daemon works but as far as I run emacsclient crashes.  Running with no window system option (-nw) it works.  To have the GUI I need to downgrade to emacs-28.2.2.

Do you have any idea where to start looking for solutions?.  Already checked the etc/PROBLEMS and nothing there concerning this specific error. I've browsed around and I couldn't find anyone reporting something similar.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Is this emacs or emacs-wayland (ie. w/ --with-pgtk)?

Thanks for your comment.

No, it is the regular emacs.

I've found the problem though, in my xorg.conf I had

Section "Screen"
       ...
       DefaultDepth    30 

Changing that value to 24 solved the issue.
