Window / error while running simple test on linux (sfml2)
« on: September 19, 2011, 11:18:37 pm »
Sorry to bump such an old thread; I found this page after a bunch of googling and thought I should provide a little extra info.
I built the latest snapshot of sfml2 just to play around and I'm experiencing the same issue posted above. My particular linux distro (crunchbang) uses the xcompmgr composite manager rather than compiz. Disabling the composite manager does not prevent the issue. I also don't have any such issues running any other OpenGL applications, regardless of whether the composite manager is on or off.
I should note that SFML 1.6 also works perfectly on this system. It would be interesting to find out what has changed between 1.6 and 2 to introduce this.
I hope you find this information useful. Good luck!
