Zapping stopped working recently with the following message given at the console: (zapping:28320): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. The program 'zapping' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode'. (Details: serial 16 error_code 147 request_code 137 minor_code 1) (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.) This has never happened before and it is entirely new problem. I've tried different zapping versions and it is all the same. Currently I got media-tv/zapping-0.9.6 installed. I've tried 0.10 cvs too. emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.14-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre11 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/rc.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/wget /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.inode.at/" LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X X509 a52 aac acl acpi alsa apm applet audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo bootsplash browserplugin bzip2 calendar cddb cdparanoia cdr cpudetection crypt css curl custom-cflags dbus dio divx4linux dmx dts dvd dvdr dvdread eds encode esd exif expat fam fat ffmpeg firefox flac font-server ftp gdbm gif glade glut glx gnome gnomecanvas gnomedb gnutls gpgme gpm gs gstreamer gtk gtk2 guile gvim hal howl hpn idn imap imlib ipv6 ithreads java javascript jce jfs jp2 jpeg keyscrub lame lcms libg++ libgda libsamplerate libwww mad maildir md5sum mikmod mime mmx mng motif moznocompose moznoirc mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg2 mpeg4 mplayer musicbrainz mzscheme ncurses network nextaw nls nntp nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia ogg oggvorbis on-the-fly-crypt openal opengl osc oss pam pcre pdflib pic png quicktime readline real recode reiserfs ruby sasl sdl slang smtp sndfile sockets spell sse ssl svg svga symlink sysfs tcpd tetex threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb utf8 v4l v4l2 vda vorbis win32codecs wmf wxwindows xfs xml xml2 xmms xpm xv zlib linguas_en userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS
this seems to be caused by the new version of the nvidia drivers (>=8174)

same problem here: # zapping The program 'zapping' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode'. (Details: serial 15 error_code 159 request_code 138 minor_code 1) (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.) I'm using nvidia driver 1.0.8178
hmm. It seems like the nvidia drivers removed some direct access and are abstracting it out through the Xlib's or some other library access rather then having direct access now. This probably won't go away in future nvidia versions. Maybe it'll get fixed in future zapping versions... Is it still being worked on upstream? because if not it's going to become a candidate for removal.
Just found this on upstream's sourceforge mailing list: "> ERROR: > The program 'zapping' received an X Window System error. > This probably reflects a bug in the program. > The error was 'XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode'. The nvidia drivers do not support DGA anymore. It isn't required but older versions of Zapping didn't catch the error. 0.10 should work. Michael" I see the latest downloadable is 0.10cvs6. I will try it and report back.
Created attachment 89571 [details] ebuild for zapping 0.10cvs6 This ebuild probably isn't technically too correct - i couldn't work out how to have an ebuild with a version 0.10cvs6, portage kept telling me it was garbage. Anyway it appears to compile and run, but I cannot fully check until I get home.
0.10_rc6 is now in portage, please test.
