glxinfo hangs if not called on display :0
Last modified: 2006-12-05 20:01:59 UTC
Starting glxinfo hangs for several seconds, if the Xserver is not running on display :0. glxgears seems to take a few seconds before starting as well. It seems to try to open every possible display, starting with :0 . For example, start 'Xorg :93' and 'DISPLAY=:93 glxinfo'. This is even more problematic with Xgl. Starting 'DISPLAY=:93 Xgl' hangs forever, because it first tries to XOpenDisplay (:0.0) due to a xglQueryVersion, and as the Xgl's server port is alreay open, the connection does not immedeately fail -> deadlock.
