Description Brendan Mchugh 2007-06-04 20:08:33 UTC 
Description of problem:

gtk2 apps SIGABRT because of some xinerama detection error in gdk or xserver.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot to runlevel 3
2. run xinit
3. run any gtk2 app (gdm, gedit, gnome-terminal)
  
Actual results:

Gdk-ERROR **: error while retrieving Xinerama information
aborting...
Aborted

Expected results:

gtk2 app should run

Additional info:

PC: Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 1554 (ati mobility radeon X1900)
Working on same hardware: Fedora Core 6, CentOS 5, Debian Etch.

The problem started with gdm crashing after fresh install of f7, so i changed to
vt1, logged in and ran telinit 3. I then run xinit and X works at 1600x1200 with
vesa driver. Running twm and xterm is ok. Running anything gtk2 based such as
gdm, system-config-* causes the error above.

I have tried Option "Xinerama" "off" in xorg.conf, but xorg.0.log still reports
Initializing built-in extension XINERAMA so i am not sure the setting is working
as i would expext.
