Hi,
i have to come back on my previous findings: the issue is NOT solved by
explicitely setting the visualId's !
most likely i missed the warning message (the application outputs much of
info on the console)
So i do get the warning/notice:
PF Notice: pfChooseFBConfig: failed to make configuration mathcing
specified attributes.
sorry for the misleading info in my previous reply.... :-(
Rick.

Re: [info-performer] Multipipe Initialization
Classification
Hi,
I had more or less the same situation with 4 screens (2 graphics cards,
each card using 2 monitors, using twinview on each card, effectively using
2 "x-screens" where each screen covers 2 monitors).
I found out that the message has to to with the fact that each x-screen
uses different visual id's for effectively the same visual: if you run
glxinfo you can verify this.
So if performer first determines a visual-id on 1 screen, and then tries
to use this id to create the visuals on both screens it will fail on 1 of
the other screen.
I verified this by explicitely requesting the visual:
pViewer->getPipe(0)->getPWin(0)->setVisualId(0x47); // pViewer is a
pointer to pfvViewer
pViewer->getPipe(1)->getPWin(0)->setVisualId(0x16a);
.......blabla
pViewer->config();
(In this system i use 2 nvidia quadro fx1400 cards, using the latest
drivers)
this way i didn't get the warning anymore.
So it seems like a Performer issue to me.....
Rick.

[info-performer] Multipipe Initialization
Classification
Greetings all. I have a simulation program running on a dual processor PC.
There is an upper and a lower LCD display, with the lower LCD being a
touch screen. The lower screen is "display 0" while the upper screen is
"display 1".
What I am trying unsuccessfully to do is initialize performer so that I
have 2 pfPipes created (one for each display) and each pfPipe has just a
single pfPipeWindow attached to it. Everything initializes seemingly fine
until I call pfFrame() for the first time, at which time I see my full
screen windows created (blank) on the uper and lower display, and then it
bombs out (the screens disappear) and I get the following notice:
"PF Notice: pfChooseFBConfig: failed to make configuration matching
specified attributes"
Below that I get a "BadWindow" message as my X calls try to operate on the
lower window created. Simply going back to one pipe, one window runs fine.
Here are the functions I am using to initialize performer and initialize
the pfPipes and pfPipeWindows. I've looked in the Performer manual and
tried to set the pipes and windows up to work properly, but obviously I am
missing something. Any clues?
