Re: large log file


Maklouf,

The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-6 release was made just for you. It turns off your error message after 10 instances of it. Please download it and try it with your screen saver on... I would like to know that the message disabling works. I don't have a test environment, so your testing is all I can go on.

Thanks for testing,

Harold

Indeed my screen saver was on, now it's off hopefully this will fix the problem.
Thanks to all of you for your help.

Cary,

Hmm... sounds like I should add a max message count to this error message. It could, say, print the message 10 times then print "Message reached max, not it printing anymore".

winShadowUpdateDDNL - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 88760096

does any one has any idea what this could be?

Turn off your X screen saver.  You don't need an X screen saver going
when your Windows screen saver is doing its job.

I've found that when the Windows screen saver is on, or I lock my screen
using win-L, and I have an X application running that is drawing to the
screen that my log will get filled with these messages.  The X
screensaver is typically the culprit as it is very busy drawing stuff.

I have reported this problem here before, but it still persists (and I
haven't done anything to fix it myself, shame on me :-)
