Error when running AaronP's xrenderbenchmark

[Deanjo]

Hey Aaron,

Tried running your fork of the xrenderbenchmark and upon execution I get:

./xrenderbenchmark
xrenderbenchmark version 1.0.2-agp1
X Server from: The X.Org Foundation, Release: 10605000
        Xrender version: 0.10
---------------------------------------------
Test: Clear
                 Plain............................................X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (RENDER)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  30 (RenderSetPictureFilter)
  Serial number of failed request:  102
  Current serial number in output stream:  155

This is on openSUSE 11.2 64-bit using the 195.30 drivers on a system with a GTX-275. Any ideas?

See this thread. The bug is in the libXrender provided by openSUSE.
NVIDIA response was:

There's a bug in older versions of libXrender that prevents RenderSetPictureFilter from working correctly on 64-bit platforms. You'll need to upgrade it or use a 32-bit version.

So I filed this bug 567454 in Novell's bugzilla. Apparently they decided to make fix only to X11:XOrg repo and openSuSE Factory. Dunno why. A bug is a bug and should be fixed also in all the supported versions IMHO.

Thank that fixed it.
