Description of problem: xdmxconfig is a GUI for creating Xdmx (multihead) configuration files. xdmxconfig will not run. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xdmx-1.7.4-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Execute xdmxconfig or sudo xdmxconfig. Actual results: # xdmxconfig (**) dmx: Unable to read configuration file X Error of failed request: BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 55 (X_CreateGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x4200029 Serial number of failed request: 141 Current serial number in output stream: 162 Expected results: xdmxconfig program should start. Additional info: Results are identical if a configuration file is specified on the command line, eg # xdmxconfig /etc/xdmx.conf This appears to be the same problem listed in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495816 dated Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:30:02 UTC According to that bug report, this happens on all architectures. However, I've only verified it on Fedora 12 x86_64. Workaround: Create the configuration file in a text editor.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
