Xnest does not support AIGLX

Reported by: jc5810@… Owned by: jeremyhu@…

Component: xserver Version: 2.4.0 (xserver-1.5.3-apple14)

Description

When I try to connect to a remote system with Xnest, I get an X window that is black and the terminal from which I started Xnest has:

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/X11/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (dlopen(/usr/X11/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so, 5): image not found) (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer (EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/rules/base (EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard Couldn't get keyboard.

Eventually the session will return "too many retransmissions - declaring session dead."

  • Summary changed from Xnest fails with AIGLX error to Xnest does not support AIGLX
  • Milestone set to 3.0

Does this happen with Xephyr as well?

Yes - the result is essentially the same with Xephyr: Xephyr -screen 1024x600 (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/X11/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (dlopen(/usr/X11/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so, 5): image not found) (EE) GLX: could not load software renderer (EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/rules/base (EE) XKB: No components provided for device Virtual core keyboard (EE) XKB: Couldn't open rules file /usr/X11/share/X11/xkb/rules/base (EE) XKB: No components provided for device (unnamed keyboard)

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Milestone changed from later to 2.5.0

This is "fixed" by turning off GLX when building Xnest and Xephyr in 2.5.0.
