Bug#431746: Xinerama active, but = 0 screens?
Hello Brice, * Brice Goglin [EMAIL PROTECTED], [2007-08-11 14:14 +0200]: The problem might be fixed by the following patch http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/*checkout*/rpms/xorg-x11-server/devel/xserver-1.3.0-randrama-no-zero-screens.patch?rev=1.1 Could any of you rebuild xserver-xorg-core 1.3 with it and reports whether it helps? I can confirm that Fedora's patch solves the problem. Thank you very much. ciao, ema -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#432256: libxinerama1: XineramaIsActive disagrees with XineramaQueryScreens on sparc
Package: libxinerama1
Version: 1:1.0.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
according to XineramaIsActive(3):
XineramaIsActive()
The XineramaActive function returns a Boolean operator used to determine
if Xin‐
erama is activated on the screen. Returns True for active and False
for not
active.
(there's a typo, s/XineramaActive/XineramaIsActive/)
[...]
XineramaQueryScreens() returns NULL and sets number to 0 if Xinerama is
not active.
Actually on my sparc machine XineramaIsActive() returns True, while
XineramaQueryScreens sets the number of screens to 0 and returns a NULL
pointer.
This bug makes gdm unusable, and probably other packages.
I've tried the following program on sparc and i386:
#include stdio.h
#include X11/Xlib.h
#include X11/extensions/Xinerama.h
int main() {
Display *disp = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
int n_screens;
XineramaScreenInfo *xscreens = XineramaQueryScreens (disp,
n_screens);
printf(XineramaIsActive: %d\n, XineramaIsActive(disp));
printf(Number of screens: %d\n, n_screens);
if(xscreens == NULL)
printf(XineramaQueryScreens returned a NULL pointer\n);
else
printf(XineramaQueryScreens returned something useful\n);
XFree(xscreens);
return 0;
}
The program above prints the following on my sparc machine:
XineramaIsActive: 1
Number of screens: 0
XineramaQueryScreens returned a NULL pointer
Conversely, on i386 the bug is not reproducible:
XineramaIsActive: 1
Number of screens: 1
XineramaQueryScreens returned something useful
ciao,
ema

The exact same bug has been reported in #431746. Uh! I checked only libxinerama's bugs before filing this one, sorry. Which xserver-xorg-core and drivers are you using on these machines? xserver-xorg-core: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-6 xserver-xorg-video-sunffb: 1:1.1.0-2 ciao, ema -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Somehow libxinerama assumes that XineramaIsActive even if sunffb doesn't handle such request? ciao, ema -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
