Bug 21262

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

already raised upstream with xbmc at http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/6382 and downstream with ubuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/363139

Ubuntu 9.04

xbmc 9.04~alpha1svn19419-jaunty1
xserver-xorg 7.4~5ubuntu18

tested with xserver-xorg-video-radeon, including the default 1:6.12.1-0ubuntu2 shipped with jaunty and a git compiled version 6.12.2.99+git20090415.5abcea88-0ubuntu0tormod2, both fail with the same problem:

$ xbmc
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)

    Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow)
    Serial number of failed request: 28
    Current serial number in output stream: 29

CRITSEC[0x8bea684]: Trying to enter destroyed section.
CRITSEC[0x8bea684]: Trying to leave destroyed section.

I don't know if this backtrace is useful but if I try the following workaround (which was suggested elsewhere) I get a segfault:

$ XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 gdb /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin
...
(gdb) bt
#0 0xb777ce26 in glClearColor () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

#3 0x0853e5ee in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfd7a8d4) at xbmc.cpp:125

full xbmc debug log is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/152489/

nothing much interesting in it though apart from these lines:
