- Subject: Update on log filling up
Well, I was wrong. I thought I was getting tons of
winCursorOffScreen () - hmm...
messages in my log file, when actually the culprit is
winShadowUpdateDDNL () - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 887601c2
The thing is my log was so big I could not tail or more it. I was using head and saw a few of the "hmm" messages and assumed those were the problem. Turns out I always get those occasionally as I move the mouse around, but they're not a significant problem.
Also, the problem is not related to the virtual desktop manager (goScreen) that I am using. (And I do still get "hmm"s whether or not I am running goScreen.)
These messages appear when I press CTL-ALT-DEL to get to the XP "Lock Workstation" button and any X window is being updated (including the X screen saver, which never goes completely blank since it can't go to power-saving mode).
I believe my workaround will be to disable the X screen saver, don't need it anyway--it was just going by default, and make sure I don't have any other animations or anything going when I lock my screen.
