Description Jacob 2009-07-22 14:48:16 UTC
Hello Cairo developers,

- is there anything that can be done about the following Cairo release "not supporting" the requested image format besides compiling a newer Cairo release?

(I do not have access to Irix development headers at this time and therefore can not compile a newer release, not even using GNU toolchain as much as I want to)


-bash-4.0$ xscreensaver-demo
Error: Cairo does not yet support the requested image format:
        Depth: 16
        Alpha mask: 0x00000000
        Red   mask: 0x0000001f
        Green mask: 0x000003e0
        Blue  mask: 0x00007c00
Please file an enhacement request (quoting the above) at:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cairo
Assertion failed: NOT_REACHED, file cairo-image-surface.c, line 155, pid 2167
Abort (core dumped)
-bash-4.0$ 
X error in apple2:
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  3 (X_GetWindowAttributes)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x24000b9
  Serial number of failed request:  12
  Current serial number in output stream:  13

(xscreensaver-demo aborts almost immediate upon load. This does not seem to depend on the individual screensaver module and thus renders xscreensaver dead. To keep this bug short, If i can provide any information of use, let me know)

I don't think so. What are you imagining could be done here?

The 1.2.2 release didn't support that image format. Later, when we added new code to support that format, we made a new release, (1.6.0 was the first with this support).

If that's the case, then I think you'll have to talk to whomever supplies you cairo binaries to see if you can get a newer version. But how sad to be without a compiler! I hope you find a more suitable environment soon.
