Description Matthias Hopf 2005-10-21 16:13:19 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.

Already tried 8.19.10?
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2006-01-25 13:45:31 UTC 
If ATI will fix this does not depend on the severity.

Comment 8 Matthias Hopf 2006-03-28 09:58:34 UTC 
Bug still present in 8.23.7.
Comment 9 Jens Axboe 2006-03-28 10:02:03 UTC 
Matthias, I don't think this is a dupe - the other bug is about Xgl (when setup with :1 display) hard crashes the machine. It's not delaying and then working, it's totally dead.
Comment 10 Matthias Hopf 2006-03-28 10:15:48 UTC 
Correct. Sorry, misread it.
Comment 11 Jeffrey Gray 2006-04-19 01:34:46 UTC 
Looks as though the bug is still present in the 8.24.8 release
Comment 12 Forgotten User VqcLmSAkg- 2006-05-25 14:59:33 UTC 
FYI, vesion 8.25.18 is available as of yesterday. Did anyone try it yet? The release notes URL target is empty. I don't have ATI hardware at home, so I will not be able to test it myself before monday.
Comment 13 Matthias Hopf 2006-05-31 15:37:07 UTC 
FYI, we have a workaround in Xgl for quite some time now. However, the bug is still present.
Comment 14 Egbert Eich 2006-06-06 14:24:40 UTC 
If I remeber correctly this is an issue that we have discussed a long time ago in a different context. The problem is that the client needs to get information from the server before it opens a display as an X client.
There must be another ticket somehwere here in the bugzilla.
Comment 16 Matthew Tippett 2006-07-05 14:12:47 UTC 
Should be resolved in 8.27, can a Novell employee with acces to the beta drivers please verify.
Comment 17 Stefan Dirsch 2006-07-05 14:21:07 UTC 
Matthias will do so.
Comment 18 Matthias Hopf 2006-07-05 18:14:31 UTC 
Is on my TODO list for tomorrow, in terms with my preparations for Luugi.
Comment 19 Matthias Hopf 2006-07-06 15:58:59 UTC 
Seems to be fixed with beta drivers. Thanks!
