Me getting this too on makerick. Pretty much identical.
I think this has always been a problem as I have used many distros for many years and Xnest has always been buggy Using XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 (which stops a similar bug in nedit) helps sometimes http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-202772.html Also using smaller window geometry which makes me think is may be linked to resource allocation (e.g. memory). ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => In Progress -- XNEST crashes in X_PolyFillRectangle with error config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296122 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
