  • [gentoo-user] Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x...

    A recent xlib update to 1.8.3 seems to have cause some applications
    (e.g. emacs) to dribble out messages like this while they are running:

    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x45e) in reply type 0x1c!
    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x464) in reply type 0x1c!
    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x471) in reply type 0x1c!
    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x476) in reply type 0x1c!
    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x483) in reply type 0x1c!
    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x53a) in reply type 0xf!
    Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0x1139) in reply type 0xc!

    Posts in varioius fora imply that this is a bug in xlib 1.8.3-3:

    Did this buggy version lib libx11 make it into gentoo stable?

    Apparently yes.

    I see that today's sync/update has just downgraded libX11 to 1.8.1, and
    the problem went away.
