The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-6 release was made just for you. It turns off your error message after 10 instances of it. Please download it and try it with your screen saver on... I would like to know that the message disabling works. I don't have a test environment, so your testing is all I can go on.
Thanks for testing,

Indeed my screen saver was on, now it's off hopefully this will fix the problem.

Cary,
Hmm... sounds like I should add a max message count to this error message. It could, say, print the message 10 times then print "Message reached max, not it printing anymore".

Hi all, I installed xserv ver 4.3.0-5 on a windows 2000 sp4 system with
directx
9 and i ahve a large log file (5 gigs) with this line winShadowUpdateDDNL - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 88760096
does any one has any idea what this could be?
Thanks
Turn off your X screen saver. You don't need an X screen saver going when your Windows screen saver is doing its job.
I've found that when the Windows screen saver is on, or I lock my screen using win-L, and I have an X application running that is drawing to the screen that my log will get filled with these messages. The X screensaver is typically the culprit as it is very busy drawing stuff.
I have reported this problem here before, but it still persists (and I haven't done anything to fix it myself, shame on me :-)
