Create a pixmap of size 1x1 and a cairo-xcb surface for this pixmap. If the surface ends up in an error state, awesome will refuse to start. This turns a "awesome is unusable and prints lots of errors on X11 servers where the root window has a depth of 8bpp and no one knows where exactly the problem is" into "awesome refuses to start on such X11 servers and prints an error that helps Uli to say immediately what the problem is".

awesome
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file.
An example configuration named "awesomerc.lua.in" is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
In most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
are written to $HOME/.xsession-errors.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
