Cairo 1.4.10 does not yet support the requested image format

[joshua70448]

I've been working to get an existing .NET application working inside Mono across platforms, and I've recently gotten it working in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 update 2 on a local VMware virtual server.  However, another user on another RHEL4u2 machine got the following error on startup:

Error: Cairo 1.4.10 does not yet support the requested image format:
        Depth: 8
        Alpha mask: 0x00000000
        Red  mask: 0x00000000
        Green mask: 0x00000000
        Blue  mask: 0x00000000
Please file an enhancement request (quoting the above) at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cairo
mono: cairo-image-surface.c:199: _cairo_format_from_pixman_format: Assertion 'NOT_REACHED' failed.
Stacktrace:

  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Drawing.GDIPlus.GdipFillRectangleI (intptr,intptr,int,int,int,int) <0x00004>

Any ideas on how to get around this?

The problem's been resolved, the user updated his display settings (changed the video card to "VMWARE") and everything works now.
