xorg-server-1.9.2-1 Fullscreen Issue

xorg-server-1.9.2-1 Fullscreen Issue

[Frederick Hansen]

Greetings,

Just FYI, after upgrading to xorg-server 1.9.2, any attempt to run in fullscreen results in an error.  Downgrading to version 1.8.2 seems to correct the issue.  Running either version in multiwindow also works.

The contents of Xwin.log are shown below:

Interesting.

I can start X in fullscreen without problems using the same options.

Are you sure that removing -fullscreen allows the X server to start properly?
 This kind of failure (invoking xkbcomp) is usually caused by BLODA or rebase
problems preventing xkbcomp from being spawned.  It would be unusual for that
to only occur with certain options, but I guess it is possible.

I have tried running in fullscreen on several other machines as well,
and ran into the same problem on some of these other machines.  These
are fairly clean Windows XP SP3 installations.  The issue occurs with
version 1.9.3 as well.  It does indeed work with -fullscreen removed.
Furthermore, if I rename /lib/dri/swrast_dri.so to something else, the
affected systems run in fullscreen without issue.

I use XP SP3.  I can't reproduce this problem.

The problem going away when you remove (and hence prevent from loading) the
dynamically loaded swrast_dri.so *really* makes this look like a remap problem.

There is some work upstream to remove this rather pointless fork/exec of
xkbcomp and replace it with libxkbcommon, but that now seems unlikely to
appear in X server 1.10.

By the way, on my machine, this is just:

X :0 -multiwindow

This was the same for me.

I didn't have it in the first place.

I'm on Windows 7.
Renaming /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so fixed the problem for me.

I then renamed it back and ran rebase on it
with the defaults used in rebaseall.  X is still starting up.

I then created rebase.lst using the commands used in rebaseall.
/usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so is in there.

But I have run rebaseall immediately prior to starting X
and it was still failing to start.

So it does appear to be a rebase problem,
and I have no clue why rebaseall couldn't fix it.
(It was completing successfully.)
