Running gxine-0.5.11-1, trying to start it, the splash
screen appears then disappears gxine does not start. Running
from console I get:
[rob@rob-v2 ~]$ gxine 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 288 error_code 8 request_code 139 minor_code 14) (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.) [rob@rob-v2 ~]$ If I try starting with the -V opengl option then it starts ok, and seems to work as normal. However, I cannot find any way to set this to the default option. |

Reason for closing: Deferred
Additional comments about closing: Closing this is it's more-or-less an upstream bug with gxine's handling of Xv output - please report to the gxine people

Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure whether my graphics card uses shared memory, I can't find anything to adjust it in the BIOS though. I've uncommented the VideoRAM line in my xorg.conf, to say:
VideoRam 131072
In my xorg log i now have:
(II) fglrx(0): Video RAM override, using 131072 kB instead of 131072 kB

For now, i've added in video.driver:opengl to .gxine/config so it defaults to the opengl driver and starts happily for now.
Sorry for the really slow response. Work and life seem to get in the way of stuff.
This isn't an issue anymore as i've changed my config file to use the opengl driver instead of xv, and it seems to work with that, however switching it back still causes the same problem.
Thanks for the response.
Rob.
