Labview and KDE 2.0.1

[Yves Lemay]

I'm working on Labview since version 3.0. During this year I started to
worke with Labview on my Linux box and every things was going well until I
installed KDE 2.0.1. I'm using Red Hat 6.2.

On the shell I read:
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (Invalid PixMap or Window Parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 14 (X_GetGeometry)
Ressource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 462
Current serial number in output stream 462

I like KDE 2.0.1 and I would apreciate to keep it so:

Does anyone have a solution on that problem?

(By the way uninstalled Labview 6i and installed it agian but it obviously
did not solve my problem.)

Thank you

Yves

I'm not sure if it's your solution, but did you read MESA 3D library notes in LV distribution? NI slightly modified this libraries and included in distribution.
Sometimes there were troubles with shared graphics libraries. Hopefully you need to examine lib versions being called.

I was tried to install KDE2, but having troubles moves me back to KDE1 and to my lovely FVWM. KDE2 is too differ inside, so I'm waiting NI approval of this desktop manager before using it.
I'm using Slackware 7.1 from scratch.

Best Regards to Linux user,

Sergey.

I just upgrade to Labview 6.0.2 on Linux and it seems to be working well...
I think I'll stick on KDE 2.0.1. It has many interresting features.

Thanks for your reply.

Hello all,

I have similar problems with my LabVIEW for Linux 6. Sometimes LabVIEW starts up without any problems. But mostly I got same kind of error messages that Yves have. This kind of behaviour (sometimes work and sometimes does't work) is quite mysterious for me???

My system is
- RedHat 7
- XFree86 4.0.1a
- KDE 2.1.1

Any suggestions????
