Bug Description

Starting xbmc in a terminal window gives the following error:

till@till-nexus7:~$ xbmc
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Value in failed request: 0x0
  Serial number of failed request: 61
  Current serial number in output stream: 68

The process keeps running until killed, for example with Ctrl+C or from another terminal.

This happens with version 12.0~git20121220.0939-rc2-0ubuntu7. With -ubuntu6 and -ubuntu8 the screen gets black and you have to kill the process SSHed in from another machine or via the USB serial console. After that you see the same error.

The same happens with Raring on the Pandaboard ES (OMAP4). Also on the Pandaboard downgrading to XBMC 11 solves the problem.

summary: - XBMC 12.0 RC2 does not start due to an X error
+ arnhf (Nexus 7, Pandaboard): XBMC 12.0 RC2 does not start due to an X

Hi again Till,

you know it is not so easy to triage a report correctly when the informations are distributed.

Could you report in futur a little bit more compressed(platform, Ubuntu version, so on)?

Thanks
