    Default XOpenDisplay != X11Info::display()

    Hi
    I was trying to do some core X11 operations from Qt , but nothing works until I replaced XOpenDisplay(NULL) with X11Info::display() , then all operations worked fine.
    I printed both pointers received from functions and they are not the same at all.

    Qt Code:
    1. display=NULL;
    2. // display=XOpenDisplay(NULL); <<-- NOT WORKING !!
    3. display=QX11Info::display();
    4. printf("display=%d\n",display);
    5. if (!display) { qDebug("unable to open local display"); return;}
    6. window=RootWindow(display,0);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    How can I use XOpenDisplay under QT?

    thanx.

    Default Re: XOpenDisplay != X11Info::display()

    Qt calls XOpenDisplay() behind the scene. If you open another connection to the X server, it will be different than the one Qt opened for you. You should instead use the one Qt gives you.
