Bug 11226 – Emerge of xfree-4.2.99.3 + Mozilla 1.2Beta breaks openbox

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason Ashbaugh 2002-11-25 16:57:57 UTC]

The current openbox stable will not start (from an .xinitrc and I imagine any X wm 
strat routine) with these two other packages installed. I currently run openbox 
with xfree-4.2.99.3 without problems. The emerge of Mozilla-1.2Beta caused the 
failure of X to start in anything but KDE. Openbox provided the following info: 
Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x96) in reply type 0x0! 
 
Then there were messages about BScreen::Bscreen: an error occured with 
querying ... another window manager is currently active. 
 
 
I thought maybe I had stale locks / something else causing the problem, but I 
rebooted the machine and remove all of /tmp/* and the backed through my 
/var/log/emerge.log to see what had been added. As soon as I unmerged Mozilla it 
worked like a charm. 
 
Thanks

Try 1.2 stable, try 1.0.1 or any other version.  If one works and the other not,
let me know.

Like I said, try the stable versions, if still issues, reopen.
