Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xnest-1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: For me everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. In one window run: Xnest :1.0 -geometry 1280x720 -ac 2. In another window run: DISPLAY=:1.0 firefox Actual results: Firefox is shown for a short while in the Xnest window before it crashes with the following output: (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 70 (X_PolyFillRectangle) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 10376 Current serial number in output stream: 10377 Expected results: Netscape running in the window Additional info: Testing the Xnest server using vlc instead of netscape works fine.
It looks like this is neither firefox nor Xorg issue, but it could be hal problem. However, to be sure we are not blaming innocent, we need some additional information 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. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
I have some problems with X11 hardware support for my machine, this is reported as bug 453741. The (EE) config/hal messages seems to be harmless as they appear early, before starting netscape.

The same behaviour is found on Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop edition running on an old i686 based server.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
