Bug#506575: elisa GLX errors

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: elisa

I've just installed the package elisa on a system running lenny

It is a fresh install of lenny from a few weeks ago, packages updated today.

I ran elisa from the command line within the X/Gnome environment.  There 
is a pause of about 1 second and then the prompt is displayed again.  No 
elisa process is running, no error messages.

Looking at it with strace, I find some errors sent to an fd but never 
displayed:

22376 write(2, "The program 'elisa' received an X Window System 
error.\nThis probably reflects a bug in the program.\nThe error was 
'GLXUnsupportedPrivateRequest'.\n  (Details: serial 47 error_code 162 
request_code 143 minor_code 17)\n  (Note to programmers: normally, X 
errors are reported asynchronously;\n   that is, you will receive the 
error a while after causing it.\n   To debug your program, run it with 
the --sync command line\n   option to change this behavior. You can then 
get a meaningful\n   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the 
gdk_x_error() function.)\n"..., 556 <unfinished ...>
