it only happens when using xinerama after upgrading vte library. Dec 13 06:13:48 Updated: vte.i386 0.14.1-1.fc6 downgrading vte does not help. i have pasted yum update log below ( related packages only ) Dec 12 20:33:15 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xorg.i386 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 Dec 12 20:34:36 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-s3.i386 0.5.0-1.fc6 Dec 12 20:34:37 Updated: xorg-x11-drv-tdfx.i386 1.3.0-2.fc6 Dec 12 20:34:51 Updated: vino.i386 2.13.5-6.fc6 Dec 12 20:34:57 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xephyr.i386 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 Dec 12 20:34:58 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xnest.i386 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 Dec 12 20:35:00 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xvfb.i386 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 Dec 12 20:35:26 Updated: xorg-x11-server-Xdmx.i386 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 Dec 12 20:35:55 Updated: xorg-x11-server-sdk.i386 1.1.1-47.2.fc6 Dec 13 06:13:48 Updated: vte.i386 0.14.1-1.fc6 Dec 13 06:14:04 Updated: gc.i386 6.8-3.fc6 From my system $ gnome-terminal The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 106 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0) (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.) $ gnome-terminal --sync The program 'gnome-terminal' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'. (Details: serial 138 error_code 2 request_code 78 minor_code 0) (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.) gdb does not help me :( strange ! issue resolved itself after i resinstalled vte, xorg-x11-server-Xorg. FYI, rraced the issue on my system to the following setting Section "Files" EndSection On replaceing the above, as shown below gnome-terminal now works fine. Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" EndSection What gives ? The above solution doesn't solve it for me though Heya Jorrit, Out of curiosity, are you using nvidia's driver ? Same problem occurs on my x86_64 FC7 Test 2 box. Using NVidia driver (1.0-9755) with a triple-headed setup using two 7300GS cards. I can confirm that switching xinerama off fixes this. Note that switching TwinView on or off makes no difference. does comment#6 help ? if otherwise, would it be possible to post uour xorg config file ? I believe this to be the same problem as that detailed at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354767 which says it's due to a buggy NVidia composite extension. Setting XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 fixes this for me. Yeah, definitely. Thanks guys, I had the same issue on rawhide x86 with: xorg 7.2-6.fc7 NVidia 1.0-9755 Xinerama turned on (using my laptop display and an additional LCD monitor) as mentioned above, using XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 works around the problem for now.
