X-Mailer: VM 6.43 under 20.4 "Emerald" XEmacs Lucid Message-ID: <13738.22232.735035.745625@grasshopper.cs.duke.edu> Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Over the weekend, I built world (and kernel) for the first time in months. Much to my chagrin, I've had X apps dying with BadLength X errors all day. The primary offendors are Netscape & Xemacs, which tend lock up after issuing errors like: X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 86 (X_AllocColorCells) Serial number of failed request: 59501 Current serial number in output stream: 59576 Widget hierarchy of resource: unknown I can generally crash Netscape within a few seconds by loading a large page & scrolling around in it. The reason I suspect PF_LOCAL sockets is because these problems go away if I set my DISPLAY to machinename:0.0 rather than :0.0. As I recall, X apps talk to a server with a display of :0.0 via PF_LOCAL sockets. Not that it matters, but this is on a 300Mhz PII, running XF86 3.3.2 (XF86_SVGA atop a 4MB NNidia Riva128 agp video card) Drew ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Gallatin, Sr Systems Programmer http://www.cs.duke.edu/~gallatin Duke University Email: gallatin@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science Phone: (919) 660-6590 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
