Description Joern Allmers 2008-01-20 11:47:35 UTC

The last upgrade (7.2-143.9) of xorg-x11-server broke my eklipse installation:
>The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
>This probably reflects a bug in the program.
>The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.

After downgrading to  xorg-x11-server-7.2-143.6.i586.rpm eclipse works fine again...

It seams that I am not alone:

This also happens for me. 

Adding the following to my xorg.conf

   Section "Extensions"
      Option "MIT-SHM" "no"
   EndSection

has *temporarily* fixed the problem. Disabling this option degrades X performance so it is not a solution. I wonder how many people will discover this problem when they turn up to work tomorrow.
