$ xorgcfg X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 500 Current serial number in output stream: 504 Steps to reproduce: line 1 Actual results: lines 2-6 Expected results: a gui This happens when running xorgcfg from an already running X, though the same error occurs from the console. I was only able to reproduce this on amd64, and I am marking it as such. I've been playing with the source of xorgcfg and the problems seems to be around here: XtRealizeWidget(toplevel); The widget is realized. However, toplevel->core.window == 0, which causes the subsequent pixmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(XtDisplay(toplevel), XtWindow(toplevel), no_cursor_data, 8, 8); to fail, because XtWindow(toplevel) == 0 I am guessing that this is not the only problem, as I see the following with gdb: toplevel->core.screen->width = 0 toplevel->core.screen->height = 1600 toplevel->core.screen->mwidth = 1200 toplevel->core.screen->mheight = 383 I am guessing that this is wrong, since 1600x1200 is in fact the size of my desktop. toplevel->core.depth = 41943222 toplevel->core.background_pixel = 24 toplevel->core.background_pixmap = 16777215 Again, my guess is that 24 is more likely to be the value for "depth", but it's assigned to the variable that follows it. I really hate the looks of this, and I hope that I am not the only one who sees these things. I also tried to run xorgcfg inside a vncserver, but I against got the same error message, instead of the expected: $ xorgcfg Xlib: extension "XFree86-VidModeExtension" missing on display ":1.0". Unable to query video extension version Unable to initialize XKEYBOARD extension The problem was reproduced with xorg-x11 versions 6.8.2 and 6.8.99.15.

Noting your kernel, does it fail in the same way with 2.6.12 or some other stable kernel?
This is pretty clearly looking like an upstream bug, so let's send it there. Georgi, please file at bugs.freedesktop.org and post the URL here.
(In reply to comment #1) > Noting your kernel, does it fail in the same way with 2.6.12 or some other > stable kernel? Could you clarify what it is that you noted about my kernel? 2.6.12.3 is the latest *stable* kernel according to kernel.org and that's exactly what I'm using. I still have the older 2.6.{7,10,11.x} in /boot so I guess I could give them a try. (In reply to comment #2) > This is pretty clearly looking like an upstream bug, so let's send it there. > Georgi, please file at bugs.freedesktop.org and post the URL here. I really, really hope that it is not a mistake on my end, or I'd end up looking real stupid. :) Will do, and will report here again. First to reboot a few times though.
As expected, the kernel didn't affect anything. Tried 2.6.7 only. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3925 is the upstream bugreport. Closing as upstream (following a previous example).

You are correct, that is a stable version.
