Description Carl Michal 2006-02-03 09:22:16 UTC
After installing xorg-x11-7.0-r1, every time an X app is started from the command line,  the following messages appear on the terminal:

Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
Info: Using render cleanup parameters 8/20/23/24/25/26.
Info: Using image cleanup parameters 0/0/0/0.

LANG=C xterm &
produces the exact same set of messages.

All the locale stuff is installed by libX11 in /usr/lib/X11
making a symlink to /usr/share/X11/locale doesn't help.

Can you provide `emerge info`?

Hm, works alright for me.

On an xorg-6.8.2 machine, there is a directory:
/usr/lib/X11/locale/lib/common/

with some libraries:
xlibi18n.so.2
xlocale.so.2
ximcp.so.2
xlcUTF8Load.so.2
xlcDef.so.2
xomGeneric.so.2

These files don't exist on my 7.0 install.  It looks like the flag --enable-loadable-i18n needs to be passed to the configure script in libX11 to force these libraries to be built.

Recompiling with that flag solves the locale errors (and actually resolves a few other less obvious bugs, eg with unison (115376) and one with javaws I hadn't filed yet, and maybe others?).

Any idea about the render cleanup parameter and image cleanup parameters messages?  Those are still there.  

Comment 4 Carl Michal 2006-02-07 12:12:15 UTC
This turns out to be a duplicate of 13996.  The NX X libraries were looking for the i18n libraries.  If nx-x11 is uninstalled, the --enable-loadable-i18n flag should not be passed to libX11's configure script.

The image cleanup parameters messages were also coming from NX's X libraries.
