 Posted: Thu Jan 14, 2010 10:30 am Post subject: XOpenDisplay fails |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to create a window for my spu software rasterizer (fb approach isn't very crash friendly). I'm using YDL 6.2 distro and GCC 4.3.2.
| Code: |
int main()
{
if ( !XOpenDisplay( NULL ) )
{
printf( "Can't connect to x server" );
}
return 0;
}
|
Everything works fine when I compile this source with -m32 (32 bit executable), but when I try -m64 XOpenDisplay always returns NULL. I tried to update libX11 (from Fedora repos), reinstalled YDL 6.2, played with xhost, but nothing worked.
EDIT: XOpenDisplay( "NULL" ) -> XOpenDisplay( NULL )

First hit on google for XOpenDisplay: http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/display/opening.html
display_name: Specifies the hardware display name, which determines the display and communications domain to be used. On a POSIX-conformant system, if the display_name is NULL, it defaults to the value of the DISPLAY environment variable.
This probably means it wants you to use: XOpenDisplay(NULL);... not passing NULL as a string....
There are plenty of xlib tutorials on the web you should probably read..... |

Yes, I'm using XOpenDisplay( NULL ). I also tried ":0.0" (the value of my DISPLAY env variable).
I was googling for a 2 days, but couldn't find why XOpenDisplay doesn't work when linking with 64 bit X11 libs. |

is there an 'errno' or similar in xlib you could check for clues on why the call failed?
Maybe an strace would be helpful - sometimes missing file opens or something can be an indicator as to why things failed?
You do have the 64bin xlib library installed right? Although i'd expect some other failure mode if this is the case, but one never knows ...

Thanks for the strace hint. This looks like a really useful tool.
| Code: |
// 32 bit lib + XOpenDisplay( NULL )
socket(PF_FILE, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/tmp/.X11-unix/X0"...}, 19) = 0
// 32 bit lib + XOpenDisplay( 'localhost.localdomain:0.0" )
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6000), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
// 64 bit lib + XOpenDisplay with any param
socket(PF_UNSPEC, 0 /* SOCK_??? */, 0) = 3
connect(0, NULL, 0) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
|
Calls for the 64bit version look very strange too me. For example manuals don't mention that you can pass NULL as addr to connect.
Also it looks like that I may have some problems with network. I tried to disable firewall, but I can't force 32 bit version to connect to "localhost.localdomain".

I have reinstalled x11-devel rpms with dependencies and there are some files like libX11.so in lib64 folder. If I remove them I get missing lib errors, so I think I have this lib installed :). |

Try...
xhost+
...and run the program again. |
