[gentoo-user] X crashing

[gentoo-user] X crashing

[Jacques Montier]

Hi all,

I use an astronomical open source imaging software (http://www.audela.org/)
which works fine except when launching a tcl photometry script (Calaphot).
X crashes with the error message :

X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  148 (RENDER)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  4 (RenderCreatePicture)
  Serial number of failed request:  51329
  Current serial number in output stream:  51338

I get the same crash on two PCs with Gentoo.
I use an ATI graphic card
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility
Radeon 9600 M10]
and the open source radeon driver.
tcl package is : dev-lang/tcl-8.5.8-r1

I really don't know where to go...
Have you an idea ?
Thank you for your help,

Cheers,

Hi Jacques,

just a shot in the dark:
May be the binary uses no longer valid calls into X.
Try to recompile the source of that program on your 
machine, so that the newest headers get used by the
compile process...

Good luck! :)

Best regards,
mcc

Thank you for your answer.
It's not a binary package but a tar.gz one i compiled on my machine.

You may have found a bug in the open source driver.  Is there a binary
driver available from ATI that you can try?

Binary ati drivers don't work with this old graphic card (RV350 Radon 
9600), but i can try again for see..

Have you tried enabling CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y in your kernel, disabling 
vesa/uvesa and testing xorg-server-1.9.x it to see if it is more 
stable/reliable?

Hi Mick

I enabled CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y, but the pc doesn't boot anymore
(black screen).
Returned to the old config...

Hmm I got that the first time because I still had uvesa enabled in the kernel.  
Disabled it and then I was able to boot fine.

Of course your hardware is slightly different so it may not behave the same.
