Still trying to find out what is happening... I dont believe this is an nVidia thing cause I tried with different cards / drivers and I still got the same behavior.
I googled around and I cant seem to find any relevant info either ... for some reason it seems that it cant get the correct pixel format sometimes although I am setting it with setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_COLOR, 8); setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_ALPHA, 8); Using : setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_COLOR, AUTO); setIAttribute(IATTR_PLANES_ALPHA, AUTO); has exactly the same result which makes sense because in GLXWindow::chooseGLXFBConfig AUTO and ON default to 8 bit format... When the application runs as expected, this is the relevant info that I get: 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/collage/base/thread.cpp:129 2 Thread eq::Pipe::PipeThread successfully initialized 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/pipe.cpp:217 2 Entered pipe thread 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/pipe.cpp:170 2 Set up pipe message pump for glX 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/glx/glxFactory.cpp:37 2 Using GLXPipe 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/../fabric/pipe.ipp:375 2 pvp update: [ 0 0 3840 1200 ] 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/../fabric/pipe.ipp:362 2 Pipe pvp set: [ 0 0 3840 1200 ] 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/glXPipe.cpp:73 2 Opened X display :0.0 @0x28eb570, device 4294967295 6941 eq::Pipe::P /home/petroska/Software-Development/Equalizer-1.0/libs/client/glXPipe.cpp:232 37 Pipe GLXEW initialization successful Using GLXWindow New X11 Connection @0x2c3c5e0 Created X11 drawable 71303174 Window drawable config: GL3.3|rgb8a8|acc64|DB Everything seems to be initialized correctly , my drawable config returns the correct settings and everything runs just fine... I cant seem to understand why it would just occasionally fail to set the default format ... Any suggestions greatly appreciated...
