 |
|
Dear all,
on my htpc (primarily running mythtv) I also have several game emulators installed. One of them is sdlmame, which worked well for quite a while. However, it has been a few months since I last used it. In the meanwhile I upgraded the hardware from an Ivy Bridge processor to a new Skylake processor. (Always using the integrated GPU)
Prozessor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100T CPU @ 3.20GHz
Board: MSI H170M PRO-VDH (MS-7982)
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
Now when I try to start sdlmame, the following error message shows up:
| Code: | X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 42 (X_SetInputFocus)
Serial number of failed request: 169
Current serial number in output stream: 170 |
After looking into the source code of sdlmame I can say that this error message is the result of functioncall SDL_CreateWindow.
OK, to simplify things I decided to test this SDL function separately as described in the offical libsdl wiki. [1]
But also the shown code example in the wiki produces the exactly same error message on my htpc.
So I upgraded xorg-server, mesa, libdrm and libsdl2 to the latest versions available in testing branch:
| Code: | x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.80::gentoo
USE="-libkms -static-libs -valgrind"
ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)"

x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.3:0/1.19.3::gentoo
USE="glamor suid udev xorg -debug -dmx -doc -ipv6 -kdrive -libressl -minimal (-selinux) -static-libs -systemd -tslib -unwind -wayland -xephyr -xnest -xvfb"

ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"
CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse sse2 -3dnow" |
But unfortunately this didn't solve the issue.
I also tested switching the video driver used by xorg-server from modesetting (provided by x11-base/xorg-server itself) to intel (provided x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel). But as this also didn't solve the problem, I switched back to modesetting.
I'm using evilwm as window manager.
I'm running out of ideas. What else could I try to get rid of this problem or at least get closer to the root cause?
Every suggestion is appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards
Leon

Just also upgraded x11-wm/evilwm from version 1.0.1 to the latest available version 1.1.1 in testing branch and that solved the problem.
I'm pretty sure I already tried this in the beginning but revert back before upgrading xorg-server, mesa, libdrm and libsdl2. |
