Description Diego Calleja 2004-08-13 16:10:19 UTC 
X.org starts (with the Composite extension enabled), then I run xcompmgr, the
screen does some weird thing for half of a second and it crashes:

diego@estel:~$ LC_ALL='C' xcompmgr
error 8 request 155 minor 4 serial 158
Abortado (core dumped)

Hardware is a 2xp3 via chipset. Graphic card is: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible
controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 SE] (rev 01) (prog-if 00
[VGA]) running 2.6.8-rc4-mm1

OK, the cvs changes of today fixed this. However. I don't know if I should close
this bug, since it could be triggering a weakness in xcompmgr which would happen
to have been hidden now with the cvs changes. I'll left this decision to others =)

I can sadly confirm that the problem still exists on today's CVS (both xorg and 
xcompmgr) on a p4 2.66 mobile ATI IGP 340M  
 
on a side note: running a GTK app alongside QT apps on KDE seems to make it crash 
faster... tried it with both Xchat and firefox

could you test again with a recent xcompmgr checkout?  several crashes have been
fixed recently.

http://freedesktop.org/~xapps/release/xcompmgr-1.1.tar.gz

we should never be crashing on XError anymore.  please test with the newest release.

works for me, closing.  please reopen if this is still a problem for you with
the latest release.
