Hi All, I'm currently investigating an issue we are having when using DirectFB with the X11 backend and the OpenGL driver.The issue is that X11 communication hangs after some period of time. The drawing thread is stuck in _XReply function and waiting for
The currently discovered problem is in the fact that Xlib is used from multiple thread. The first thread is our application with drawing to DirectFB. The second thread is the X11/Input thread created by DirectFB. This seems to result in a deadlock until the mouse is moved (or keyboard is pressed). The usage of OpenGL might complicate the matters, since I think there is an additional communication path to Xlib via OpenGL libraries. My current attempt is to use XCB for X11/Input, but this made matters worse, rather than better. Did anyone have a similar issue (and hopefully solution for it) with X11 before? Is there any way to serialize the access by DirectFB to OpenGL and Xlib?
