- Hi,
- I am trying to write a program entirely in Xlib ( for
- performance reasons ), I am borrowing some code from a program
- that I wrote last year ( which I am pretty sure worked ), but
- when I run the program, I get the following error from Xlib:
-
- X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
- Major opcode of failed request: 62 (X_CopyArea)
- Serial number of failed request: 73
- Current serial number in output stream: 150
- Exit 1
-
- How do I track down EXACTLY what is going wrong, it seems that
- when XCopyArea is called, it returns with an OK status, and
- its only when the event requests are processed that the
- message is printed. Any advice would be gladly appreciated!
-
- thanks in advance
