Description Christophe Cornu CLA Friend 2003-06-12 11:46:23 EDT
Eclipse Motif hangs when running on RH9 with a configuration running 2 monitors.
The same Eclipse Motif works fine under Suze 8.2. Works ok when one of the 2
monitors is disabled.

Hang occurs in XQueryColor. Also sometimes in XGetGeometry.
Removing 'synchronize' in the OS class for XQueryColor does not fix it.
The GTK version is Ok.

Video cards: NVidia, ATI Radeon
Comment 1 Christophe Cornu CLA Friend 2003-06-12 13:45:23 EDT
RH 9 uses the new native posix thread library. Disabling it didn't fix the
problem though.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/release-notes/x86/

Applications that are known to have problems using NPTL include:
- Sun JRE prior to version 1.4.1
- IBM JRE
If an application does not work properly with NPTL, it can be run using the old
LinuxThreads implementation by setting the following environment variable:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=<kernel-version>
The following versions are available:
- 2.4.1 — Linuxthreads with floating stacks
- 2.2.5 — Linuxthreads without floating stacks
Comment 2 Christophe Cornu CLA Friend 2003-06-12 16:12:40 EDT
Disabling "Xinerama" "Off" 'fixes' it.
Commenting out FontPath "unix/:7100: also 'fixes' it
Comment 3 Christophe Cornu CLA Friend 2003-06-12 16:39:10 EDT
Changing title to more accurately reflect problem. This happens only with UTF8
locales.
Works fine with en_US, fr_FR, ja_JP.
Hangs with en_US.UTF8, fr_FR.UTF8.

Happens on Chrix's machine and Veronika's machine.  Does not happen on Grant's 
machine.

Jose has reported the same problem in bug 39333.  However, he was using CDE on 
Solaris.
Comment 7 Jose Ricardo Freitas D'Arce CLA Friend 2003-07-29 07:16:32 EDT
I am using machines Sun RAVE, with Solaris 2.7 and 2.8, LANG=C and ATI Rage IIc
video card.
Comment 8 Jose Ricardo Freitas D'Arce CLA Friend 2003-08-04 13:12:20 EDT
It hung again. This time I was using LANG=en_US. 
I was using Eclipse without any crash since last Monday (28/07). The other 
times, it got hung after only 1 or 2 days of use.

I'm attaching the stack trace and .log files.

Comment 11 Jose Ricardo Freitas D'Arce CLA Friend 2003-08-28 08:23:39 EDT
Any news about this problem??
I've got other 2 hangs, this time I was using Solaris 2.8 - last time I reported
it was Solaris 2.7. In all of the tests I used LANG = en_US.
Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks.

Changing title to reflect dual monitor issue.
Jose, do you have a dual monitor setup? Nothing in your comments mentions 
this, your problem might be completely unrelated to this PR's issue. This PR 
is about a hang which appears on Linux RH9 with dual monitors and UTF8 locale. 

If you don't have a dual monitor, yours should be tracked in a separate PR.
Comment 13 Jose Ricardo Freitas D'Arce CLA Friend 2003-08-28 10:07:13 EDT
I don't know what is a dual monitor, so I think I don't have it ... 

I had opened another Bug (#39333) and someone marked it as a duplication of
this bug. 
If they are not the same issue please re-open the Bug 39333.
Comment 14 Tom Hofmann CLA Friend 2003-11-21 13:48:00 EST
just for completeness: also happens with Matrox G450 Dual Head.
setting LANG=en_US (not UTF) fixes it

Closing for lack of activity. If this is still happening with current drops of Eclipse on one of the reference platforms, please re-open.
