Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-18 04:05:26 UTC
This version is stable, adds a useful crash prevention patch for EXA/nvidia users. Has been in the tree for months. Can we get it stable?
Comment 1 Olivier Crete (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-05 23:41:57 UTC
I've done it on amd64 (been using it for months).
Comment 2 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2009-04-08 05:46:10 UTC
Unfortunately bug 246138 never got fixed, so the xchat input line now looks quite ugly by taking up too much space.

I guess I should say it never got fixed properly since the bug is currently closed.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-07-19 06:06:15 UTC
then let's put out a -r3 with the *one line change* reverted.  xchat atm is unusable on stable nvidia x86 systems and the patch in -r2 fixes things.

$ xchat
The program 'xchat' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
  (Details: serial 389 error_code 17 request_code 148 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

IMHO, this bug should depend on bug #286146.
