I am using openSUSE 12.2 Final with wine 1.5.15, libxcb 1.8.1 and NVIDIA 310.14 drivers. Many applications started using wine are affected since this is a generic libxcb bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a GUI windows application using wine 2. Use it for some time 3. Notice it freezes Actual Results: When the deadlock occours, the wine output is: err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x15d60c "bitblt.c: surface" wait timed out in thread 0009, blocked by 0024, retrying (60 sec) The application window is "frozen". Expected Results: Program does not freeze and continues to work. The bug is also reported upstream at wine: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31882#c13 It appears to be a libxcb deadlock bug which was known upstream and is fixed in libxcb 1.9. I have already backported the fix/patch on OBS here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=libxcb&project=home%3AFunkyM%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3A12.2%3AUpdate With this fix for libxcb, wine applications no longer freeze and work fine. However, I have no idea how this would be pushed to the offical update repository as I am unable to submit back my package changes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
