Title: XNEST crashes in X_PolyFillRectangle with error config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: xnest I run a headless server that I log into using Terminal Server Client with XNEST via XDMCP. The server is running Hardy, the machine I connect from is running Intrepid. Ever since I upgraded my main workstation to Intrepid I have had this problem: Xnest randomly crashes within five minutes of connecting to the headless server. The following error message pops up: Could not init font path elements /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, removing from list! (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 70 (X_PolyFillRectangle) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 79841 Current serial number in output stream: 79841 I suspect this is a problem with the XNEST that ships with Intrepid, since it has only started happening after the upgrade.
