forgot: qiv-1.9 and gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-r3
do you have composite extension enabled in xorg.conf? if i do that i get the same error, seems that qiv (the gdk-lib) can't handle the composite extension.
I'm having the same problem, and have the composite extension enabled. I'd that is the problem.
Does the problem still exist with =qiv-2.0?
To answer my own question: it still does.
"XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 qiv" obviously works. x11: Have you got any idea regarding how other applications have solved this (looks like xmms had a similar issue)?
No, not offhand. I'm not really aware of any other apps with this problem; you'll have to search around.
Were you able to fix it? I'm having the same issue with qiv 2.0 under amd64.
No progress AFAIK.
Well, uhm - this hasn't seen an upstream release for over 2 years, doubtful that it will ever get fixed. How about punting it? Crashes here as well.
Created attachment 99940 [details, diff] Patch to set the required envvar I had the same problem and wrote this patch. It sets the mentioned environment variable. (The [afaik] only alternative was to rewrite qiv to use gtk2; I don't know enough about gtk to do so) -------------- src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd ${S} epatch ${FILESDIR}/qiv-composite.patch }
Added Phillip's patch to 2.0-r1, I believe it is the best we have without rewriting the whole thing. Cheers!
