Re: [xine-devel] Deadlocks are back

[Miguel F. <mi...@ce...>]

Hi Mike,

I guess this must be a bug in XFree86 that Ewald just discovered. it was
triggered by my recent commit on video out drivers to handle completion
events. Ewald told me that XlibInt.c was dropping a lock and the bug
affected not only xine but other applications like xterm as well.

Kudos to Ewald for tracking and fixing this thing! few people i know
would feel adventurous enough for doing that.

actually i just noticed a quite strange problem here that might be
related:

xine: xine_play
xine: xine_play_internal ...done
Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x3b89) in reply type 0x0!
received X error event: 0
received X error event: 0
received X error event: 0
received X error event: 0
received X error event: 0
received X error event: 0
received X error event: 0

while a bugfix in xfree may take several months to get to the users, i
will try a workaround in xine-ui. unfortunately my idea will require
xine-lib >= 1-beta5.

alternatively we might disable the new code in xine-lib. it is an
important step on improving playback smoothness and simplifying
frontends, so it would be a shame to lose it...

regards,

Miguel
