Description Ben Skeggs 2005-08-13 15:27:55 UTC 
Most X applications refuse to start, failing with BadValue in XCreateWindow.

I believe the problem may have something to do with the event mask, as calling
XCreateSimpleWindow seems to work in a couple of tests, but if you attempt to
select for some events with XSelectInput, the application will die with BadValue.

I've also seen firefox die with BadColor, I'm unsure if this is related.

Comment 6 Ben Skeggs 2005-08-14 19:36:53 UTC 
As suggested by Donnie Berkholz (spyderous), I've updated the build (portage has
cvs from 20050811) and a patch to configure.ac which changes "amd64" to "x86_64".

The problem still occurs.
Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz 2005-08-22 18:19:29 UTC 
Ben, could you try >=xorg-server-0.99.1-r4 and let us know how it works. It's a
CVS update to today, which has some amd64 fixes.
Comment 8 Ben Skeggs 2005-08-22 23:43:10 UTC 
Thanks for the heads up Donnie.  xorg-server-0.99.1-r5 works correctly.  Marking
as resolved.
