------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-23-07 11:06 ------- Michel, thank you for your explanation, now I understand the problem. Now if the field is added in the end of the struct, the old xfree does not read garbage when trying to get the other members. And because it's old and dont have the knowledge of the existence of the new field, does not touch it. Of course this works only inf the structure is passed _alwas_ by pointer. Hmm, but the drm will get garbage in that field. Can this dirty && ugly hack work? Anyway, your solution seems the right way, but it seems that it will take a lot of time to have the change included in the kernel, xfree and dri. BTW, now I noticed a problem with xfree 4.3.99.8 (cvs from 2003-07-21), whenever I try to start a x program using ssh to the remote computer which has the xfree from cvs, I get this message: _X11TransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp _X11TransSocketOpenCOTSClient: Unable to open socket for tcp _X11TransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/localhost:10 Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 trying a "telnet localhost 6010" I can connect. Trying the reverse, running from a ssh to the other computer with xfree 4.3.0 everything works as usual. This seems unrelated to this changes, is this some error in my compiling? Should I file a new bug? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.xfree86.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
