Xgl immediately crashes
Last modified: 2006-03-13 17:48:57 UTC
If attempting to use Xgl, it crashes on open of first app (eg xterm). From runlevel 3, if I start: /usr/X11R6/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv and then run DISPLAY=:1 xterm from another console, Xgl crashes. With debuginfo installed, it shows this in the core: #0 glitz_surface_sync_drawable (surface=0x0) at glitz_surface.c:332 332 REGION_EMPTY (&surface->drawable_damage); which looks a little odd, since surface is used many times before in that function. xgl version is cvs_060223-3, glitz is 0.4.4-10. I'll attach the core file.

I should mention that this is with an nvidia graphics adapter, driver version 8178 installed. OpenGL stuff works fine from Xorg.
You can't use Xgl with glitz 0.4.x. Xgl contains it's own 0.5.x version of glitz, are you sure Xgl is actually linked to glitz 0.4.4? If that's somehow happening, I'm not surprised it's crashing and you should try to find out why it's linking to that old version of glitz, it shouldn't do that.
It's not linked against glitz, I just check the glitz version since I saw that in the backtrace.
I'll close this again, appears to just be due to some of the mesa and nvidia libs conflicting. After cleaning that up, it works. Now, is nvidia xinerama not supposed to work with XGL?
No. xinerama is not yet supported in Xgl at all.
