#41320: submission: xcrysden -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: dstrubbe@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: xcrysden | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by dstrubbe@…): Here is the situation, judging from my own experience and those of others on the XCrySDen email list: on Snow Leopard, XCrySDen worked fine with mesa 7.11. On Lion, XCrySDen with mesa > 7.0.2 would run, but be more or less unusable due to flickering of the graphics. On Mountain Lion, XCrySDen with mesa > 7.0.2 (or GL from /usr/X11R6/lib, /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Libraries, or /opt/X11/lib) crashes on initializing the window with an error of the form: {{{ X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GetWindowAttributes) Resource id in failed request: 0xffffffff Serial number of failed request: 566 Current serial number in output stream: 567 }}} Specifically I tried mesa 8.0.4 and 7.11.2. I tried to use some earlier versions of mesa but had trouble building them. It certainly would be preferable to use current mesa rather than a separate old version, but I was not able to figure out how. If anyone has suggestions of what might be the trouble or how to proceed in debugging, I'll give it a try. I do know that the problems with mesa 8 are not essential since mesa 8 works on Ubuntu with XCrySDen. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41320#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
