All the Xlib documentation seems to imply that threads can be used , however if I attempt to put XNextEvent() or XPending() in a thread , the rsult is a GP fault . The error message suggests using XInitThreads() but it still generates a GP fault.
Tried using XlockDisplay() and XUnlockDisplay() in the thread but still get a GP fault. X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error) Major opcode of failed request: 100 (X_ChangeKeyboardMapping) Serial number of failed request: 20 Current serial number in output stream: 35 X11 code which causes the problem in the thread : NewEvent := Xpending(TheDisplay) > 0 ; if NewEvent then begin XNextEvent(TheDisplay, @myevent); KeypressedX := myevent._type = keypress ; end; Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://free-pascal-general.1045716.n5.nabble.com/Xlib-Threads-tp5719066.html Sent from the Free Pascal - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
