I've been trying to build and run Upp on Linux. As a result I met a problem, which wasn't discussed on this forum before (or I haven't spent enough time to find a discussion).

Problem:

I'm getting a lot of messages like one below.

Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "192.168.1.102:0.0".

I've checked configuration of two of mine X-Servers. One is Exceed-v7.0, and another is X-Win32-v7.1.

The first one is six year old, and the second one is one year old.
Neither first nor second have a "RENDER" extension.
I've attached both configurations.

libXrender is loading before GTK ...

Is it possible to negotiate capabilities of an X-Server on application startup?

Thanks!


PS: Below is configuration of X-Win32-v7.1

Xlib: extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "localhost:130.0".

You must be using some really weird distro. RENDER was supported on all major Linux/BSD distros since 5 years ago.

RENDER is required to have any decent text rendering in Linux. 4 years ago there was support for original X11 fonts, but later removed because it was to painful to support.

Both X-Win32 and Exceed are commercial X-Servers for Windows ...
They do not depend on a distro ...

I do not have a monitor attached to a Linux box.

So some X-Server for windows. I don't use windows, so couldn't help, but I don't see how it is related to upp anyway.

UPP is trying to use API from the "RENDER" extension, which seems to be not available with all of my X-Servers.

In few minutes ...

I checked the website of X-Win32. They released a new version 8.0, which has a new feature: "The new RENDER extension has been added which provides smooth graphics and text for remote applications that support it.".

So, what I want to say is that some of X-Server extension may be not supported. It is okay.

It would be nice if UPP could negotiate X-Server capabilities before starting to use them.

I guess, you are right. UPP should handle that case, or upp apps are not guaranteed to work properly in a remote session. For native Linux local sessions, Xserver capabilities will always be in sync with the libraries, and the apps won't even launch with ancient versions of X11.

You just do not have a clue how much trouble is that...

OK, I will think about that..

P.S.: U++ runs very well on Cygwin Win32 X11 server connected to Linux machine.

At the palace where I work we use X-Win32. May be I'm wrong, but I think that all commercial companies use commercial X-Servers. And nobody wants to change an X-Server for UPP's sake.

I'm sorry, I just wanted to point out the problem. It might be important.
