Hi,
I mentioned this error before on the X11 list without getting a response.
I found out meanwhile that I get this error message only when I run my
custom kernel. Running either the kernel from the 6.2 RELEASE or the
rebuilt GENERIC kernel did not result in this error message.
I added this to the kernel configuration:
machine i386
cpu I486_CPU
cpu I586_CPU
#cpu I686_CPU
ident P2120
plus
device acpi_fujitsu # support for the additional buttons
device acpi_video # no real information given
device cpufreq # support for none ACPI frequency control
device drm # enables kernel support for direct rendering
device radeondrm # enables support of the ATI Radeon chipset
Erich
PS
The error message:

You have mail.
/home/erich > thunderbird &
[1] 42052
/home/erich > The program 'thunderbird-bin' received an X Window System
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length
erro'.
(Details: serial 186251 error_code 16 request_code 18 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
