Hello everybody,

after installing the latest ATI drivers I consistently get the following errors, in some cases preventing program execution:


> fglrxinfo 
fglrxinfo: xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.
Aborted
> glxgears 
glxgears: xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.
Aborted
> firefox 
firefox-bin: xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.
firefox-bin: xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.

firefox continues, for the former two the error is fatal.


> fgfs
fgfs: xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.

> paraview 
paraview: xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.
Aborted

The system is an up-to-date opensuse 11.4, here are the versions of xcb and fglrx:

Anybody having solved the same problem? A search has shown that debian & ubuntu distributions have faced quite similar but not exactly the same problem before, although no workable solution was given (I do not see any packages xcb packages that I could downgrade to).

Best regards,

Hi,

I also had this problem. I solved it by removing the 32-bit drivers (which were installed next to the correct 64-bit drivers).

Cheers,

Dear Jason

thank you for your reply! I am travelling so I can try it as soon as I return home. Meanwhile, 32bit drivers of what? libxcb, ati drivers or other libraries?

kind Regards,

George

I tried deinstalling 32bit libxcb, to no avail. The error persists.

Hello,

for anybody who might have the same problem: I deinstalled the ATI X11 drivers and the ATI kernel modules, reinstalled, rebooted and the error message is gone. Case closed :slight_smile: [for me at least]

Thanks,
The same procedure has solved my problems with mysql-workbench application
