Re: [gtk-list] gdk shm momory bug on Alpha

[raster redhat com]

On 15 Sep, Conrad Steenberg shouted:
->  To any gtk/gdk devoloper reading this list:
->  
->  I posted an error report on GNOME on Alpha the other day, and got no
->  response, so I tried to track down the problem further.
->  
->  Any gtk-1.1.1 app causes the following error when compiled on an Alpha:
->  
->  ** ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
->    serial 182 error_code 10 request_code 129 minor_code 3
->  
->  This turns out to be a bug in gdk's shared memory handling. Starting the
->  same app with --no-xshm allows it to run, albeit much slower. This was
->  using gtk-1.1.1 built from source. The same error does not occur using an
->  app compiled with gtk+-1.0.x
->  
->  If anyone can help me track this down, it would be much appreciated.

known -0 linux alpha kernel shmem bug - its a kernel bug. not gdk.

->  Conrad
->  
->  Ps. I know 1.1.1 is a devel version, but it has to be tried out by
->  someone... :-)
