Hi,
I am trying to get Xdmx working on a 12 screens/3machines setup and came across
some problems.
Using the "xorg-x11-server-extra" package in OpenSuse 11.3 RC1 (X11R7.5) I do
get Xdmx running together with Gnome and using Xinerama. However, when a window
is dragged across a screen boundary the window does not get redrawn (it turns
grey), unless the screen boundary is between two screens attached to different
PCs. Any ideas where to look for a solution? Is this a Xinerama problem?
The right two colums of the 4x3 setup show strange distortions, like parts of
windows from previous Xdmx sessions or a black and white diagonal banding
pattern. It looks like uninitialized memory is being displayed. This already
happens if I run gnome with Xdmx on one machine using four screens, but not
when I run gnome directly with the local X server. How can I debug this further?
Another issue involves a segfault of Xdmx when starting Glx programs, like
glxgears, glxinfo etc.:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000005abdb2 in __glXGetVisualConfigs (cl=0x9fbbf0, pc=0x9f57c0
"\214\016\002") at glxcmds.c:1546
1546 reply.numVisuals = pGlxScreen->numGLXVisuals;
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000000005abdb2 in __glXGetVisualConfigs (cl=0x9fbbf0, pc=0x9f57c0
"\214\016\002") at glxcmds.c:1546
#1 0x00000000005a50e7 in __glXDispatch (client=0x9f5420) at glxext.c:460

#3 0x000000000052f03e in main (argc=7, argv=0x7fffffffe458,
envp=0x7fffffffe498) at main.c:285
(gdb) print pGlxScreen
$1 = (__GLXscreenInfo *) 0x0
It looks like a X_GLXGetVisualConfigs request is recieved and handled, but
glxInitVisuals was never called and so "pGlxScreen =
&__glXActiveScreens[screen];" returns 0.
Any ideas how to get around this? I really would like to be able run OpenGL
applications using Xdmx and Chromium, but that is not possible right now.
About the configuration:
>From the Xdmx logging:
(II) dmx: Generation: 1
(II) dmx: DMX version: 1.2.20070424 (DMX Project)
(II) dmx: DMX Build OS: openSUSE (SUSE LINUX)

Any help is appreciated.
