[solved] gxine does not start

When I try to start gxine, I receive the following error message:

The program 'gxine' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 322 error_code 8 request_code 143 minor_code 5)
(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.)

I have: gxine-0.5.11, xine-lib-1.1.9.1, gtk+-2.12.1-r2, xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r4.

As far as I can tell, the crash happens since the update of xorg-server.

Any ideas what is behind the crash and how to fix it?

If you haven't already, emerge gentoolkit. Then run

I tried revdep-rebuild and emerge gxine, xine-lib, gtk+ and xorg-server but I keep getting the same error when launching gxine.

A few seconds after gxine crashes, a suspicious (although probably unrelated) message appears in .xsession-errors:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad"

Hmm, a minute or so after the gxine crash, the following gets written to .xsession-errors:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib64/gxine/gxineplugin.so [/usr/lib64/gxine/gxineplugin.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]

You haven't tried to mix 32bit and 64bit libraries and applications have you?

gxine works again. The reason for the problem was that the xorg-server update set the opengl implementation to "xorg-x11" and I forgot to switch it back to "ati". Now that I have done that, gxine works fine. The crash persists with "xorg-x11" opengl, but that does not affect me.
