[PATCH (v2)] Make sure the child is able to connect to the X server before exiting the mainline.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This allows the vdagent to be used in the Xsetup phase of an xdm session;
otherwise, it's X11 connection fails because of the greeter display grab.

The issue is that we daemonize before attempting the X connection.
We then immediately exit the main process; xdm then goes on to invoke the
greeter which performs an exclusive grab on the X server, so the child
connection fails.

The change is to have the main process wait for up to 10 seconds for an 'all clear'
message from the client.  This lets us return a correct status on a real X
error, as well as letting our child successfully connect to the X server.
