MAXCLIENTS is defined in resource.h, which is part of the server's ABI. You can't just change this number without also changing the ABI version and recompiling any modules that use it. In particular, this change causes libglx to overrun some memory, corrupting who knows what. While we can probably work around this particular problem, I don't think we want to get into the habit of supporting arbitrary unofficial changes to the server ABI. If you do think the ABI needs to be changed, please discuss it on xorg-de...@lists.freedesktop.org. There's a discussion in progress right now about how to properly increase MAXCLIENTS without breaking other apps that rely on having a lot of resource IDs available: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg- devel/2009-February/000039.html This patch needs to be reverted. -- compiz/kwin freezes on login as of xorg-server 1.5.99.902-0ubuntu2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326344 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
