Subject: X freeze with GLX?
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=103329631419742

Hi
I have a problem with boson - when I start a game and quit it again I have a 
(reproducable on my system) X freeze. Mouse can still be moved, but the 
cursor doesn't change and nothing happens when I click on something. Keyboard 
is locked, too.

The only way (except reboot) is to ssh into my computer and killall -9 
drkonqi. killing boson doesn't work.
According to gdb and lots of debug output (added by me) in QT the freeze 
happens once the QGLWidget destructor calls QGLContext::reset() - in the line 
with glXDestroyContext().

I believe this has something to do with my graphics card driver (I am using 
the tdfx driver with a Voodoo5 card) but when I start boson from e.g. fvwm2 
(i.e. without kde) then all kde stuff including kdeinit and artsd is started, 
but the game does *not* freeze on destruction. It happens when I start it 
under KDE *only*.

So something in KDE startup or so must trigger this problem, but I have no 
idea what. Can anyone help me?

Andi
