hello, I know I'm running a software stull under development but I'm curious ;)
I run a gentoo Linux box and there is a package called XFree-4.2.99 available which I build and installed. Now I have a strange issue: I can run plain X-Apps and i.e Mozilla just fine and also Gnome-1.4 apps like Evolution run without problems. But any Gnome-2 app stops with this error: Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gdmlogin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'. (Details: serial 53 error_code 16 request_code 157 minor_code 20) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) aborting... Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'rep' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'. (Details: serial 39 error_code 16 request_code 157 minor_code 20) ... (Details: serial 51 error_code 16 request_code 157 minor_code 20) etc. same message every time, only the serial is different. now which part of my system might cause this trouble? where should I start to look ... I tried to run i.e. gdmlogin with gdb Did not get much info out of it ...
