About the component: i assume it's xorg-x11-drv-amd After applying the newest updates, one of which was the xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-44.fc8 some applications crash upon start. (they are applications which use openGL and stereo) Amira4: crashes shortly after the splashscreen appears: [jody]:~:$/opt/Amira41-LinuxAMD64/bin/start Using arch-LinuxAMD64-Optimize ... X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8 Major opcode: 158 Minor opcode: 5 Resource id: 0x43400262 X Error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) 8 Major opcode: 158 Minor opcode: 5 Resource id: 0x0 A simple test application crashes immmediately, too: [jody]:~:$./stest freeglut (./stest): ERROR: Internal error <Visual with necessary capabilities not found> in function fgOpenWindow X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 4 (X_DestroyWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0xa5 Serial number of failed request: 15 Current serial number in output stream: 18 Both applications worked fine immediately before i applied the update, and crashed immediately after the update.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card? Attach to this bug /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt as well, please. Is the stest application available (preferably in the source)? Could you please attach it as well? We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
Reinstalling the nvidia driver solved the problem. Apprently the previous installation had no nvidia-subdirectories and the x11 update must have overwritten something.

Thanks for the report. We are sorry that we cannot help you with your problem, but we are not able to support binary-only drivers. If you would be able to reproduce this issue using only open source software, please, reopen this bug with the additional information, but in meantime I have no choice than to close this bug as CANTFIX (because we really cannot fix it). For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the unsupported 3rd party proprietary "nvidia" video driver, Nvidia provides indirect customer support via an online web based support forum. Nvidia monitors these web forums for commonly reported problems and passes them on to Nvidia engineers for investigation. Once they've isolated a particular problem, it is often fixed in a future video driver update. The NVNews Nvidia Linux driver forum is located at: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 Once you have reported this issue in the Nvidia web forums, others who may have experienced the particular problem may be able to assist. If there is a real bug occuring, Nvidia will be able to determine this, and will likely resolve the issue in a future driver update for the operating system releases that they officially support. While Red Hat does not support the proprietary nvidia driver, users requiring technical support may also find the various X.Org, XFree86, and Red Hat mailing lists helpful in finding assistance: X.Org mailing lists: http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgMailingLists XFree86 mailing lists: http://www.xfree86.org/sos/lists.html Red Hat mailing lists: https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo
