Hello all, 4.17-rc4 (my latest kernel ATM) consistently fails to start xgalaga without -window. I will try find time to build the latest rc this evening.
> ~$ xgalaga > X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for > operation) > Major opcode of failed request: 152 (XFree86-VidModeExtension) > Minor opcode of failed request: 10 (XF86VidModeSwitchToMode) > Value in failed request: 0x120004e > Serial number of failed request: 199 > Current serial number in output stream: 203 Haven't dug into this much yet, only did a perfunctory check by booting into a few older kernels (4.11, 4.12, 4.16) and the problem is absent on all of them. It appears to be a 4.17-specific regression right now. Also observed, though this is surely a different regression, the game ran like molasses with -window, showing some prominent kworkers in top: 692 vc 20 0 312852 45884 20556 R 32.0 1.2 0:08.69 Xorg 102 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 11.2 0.0 0:01.43 kworker/1:3 94 root 20 0 0 0 0 I 8.9 0.0 0:00.83 kworker/0:2 696 vc 20 0 39948 4124 2912 S 1.0 0.1 0:05.57 vwm 902 vc 30 10 46372 4144 3500 S 0.7 0.1 0:00.08 xgalaga 891 vc 30 10 44924 3868 3156 R 0.3 0.1 0:00.09 top 903 vc 30 10 4180 1184 1100 S 0.3 0.0 0:00.01 xgal.sndsrv.oss The windowed performance issue was observed on the older kernels tested as well, though 4.11 felt better and didn't have the busy kworkers. I have not attempted to play xgalaga for ages, but it used to be perfectly playable on this machine in windowed mode when I last did. Machine is the venerable Thinkpad X61s, 1.8Ghz, Debian 9, config attached. Regards, Vito Caputo
