[desktop-discuss] Songbird errors out with missing "RANDR" X Windows extension

[Ethan Mallove]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Songbird on OpenSolaris, but I am getting this 
error:

  $ ./songbird
  Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "<myhost>:33.0".
  The program 'songbird-bin' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
    (Details: serial 84 error_code 2 request_code 141 minor_code 1)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
     option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
     backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Other X Windows apps (e.g., "xclock") work okay. What do I need to do
to get the "RANDR" extension?

Thanks,
Ethan
