Description Peter Åstrand 2005-06-15 05:50:53 UTC
This problem was initially reported to the mesa-dev mailing list, see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7498802&forum_id=5154. 

It seems like there's some issue with GLXGetVisualConfigs when used with Solaris
and IRIX OpenGL clients. It might be a compatibility problem or a byte order issue:

With Mesa 6.X, if I run "glxinfo -v" locally (on a plain FC3 machine), all my
visuals are of render type RGBA. Example:
 
 Visual ID: 32  depth=24  class=DirectColor
      bufferSize=24 level=0 renderType=rgba doubleBuffer=0 stereo=0
      rgba: redSize=8 greenSize=8 blueSize=8 alphaSize=0
      auxBuffers=0 depthSize=24 stencilSize=8
      accum: redSize=16 greenSize=16 blueSize=16 alphaSize=0
      multiSample=0  multiSampleBuffers=0
      visualCaveat=Slow
      Opaque.
 
However, if I run glxinfo (or xglinfo) on a remote machine with a 
different byte order, it claims that the render type is COLOR INDEX. On a 
Solaris 8 machine, running /usr/openwin/demo/GL/xglinfo gives:
 
 DirectColor visual: ID = 0x32 (hex) 50 (decimal), screen = 0, gamma = 2.22
    SINGLE buffered MONO COLOR INDEX visual with (Z Stencil)
    GL Sizes: ColorIndex=24, Z=24, Stencil=8
    number of sample buffers=0, samples per pixel =0
    ERROR: CI visual, but RGB has non-zero sizes (8,8,8)
    ERROR: CI visual, but Accum has non-zero sizes (16,16,16,0)
    Core X: depth=24, colormapSize=256 RGB: masks=(0xff0000,0xff00,0xff) bits=8
 
Note the "COLOR INDEX" output. Also, when using "+printRawVisualInfo", it 
says "rgba=0".
 
When running "glxinfo" on a IRIX 6.5 machine, still using the same 
display, the output is:
 
     visual  x  bf lv rg d st  r  g  b a  ax dp st accum buffs  ms
   id dep cl sp sz l  ci b ro sz sz sz sz bf th cl  r  g  b  a ns b

The problem seems limited to Mesa 6.X, and it seems to be a Xserver-side 
issue. I"ve tested some different versions:
 
 XFree86 4.3.0, Mesa DRI G400, Mesa 4.0.4:   Works
 Xorg 6.7.0, Mesa GLX Indirect, Mesa 5.0.2:  Works
 xf4vnc 4.3.0.999: Mesa GLX Indirect, 5.0.2: Works
 Xorg 6.8.2, Mesa DRI G400, Mesa 6.2.1:      Fails
 xf4vnc cvs: Mesa GLX Indirect, 6.2.1:       Fails
 
If I disable the GLX_SGIX_fbconfig extension (by editing glxscreens.c), the
problem disappears.

I want to make sure that I have a complete understanding of what's happening
here.  Is glxinfo being run on the Solaris / IRIX system with DISPLAY pointing
to the Linux system?

If that's the case, I think this problem may be caused by the same thing as bug
#3210.  A fix for that bug has been committed to Xorg CVS.  Could you see if you
can reproduce this with Xorg CVS?

Yes.

Yes, will try.

The problem occurs even with the latest Xorg CVS.

This bug should be fixed by this patch posted to the xorg-devel mailing list.

http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2009-December/003955.html

I'll close this bug as soon as the patch lands in the tree.

The patch has landed, time to close?
