Menus in QT app not working well when app is lunch via exec()

[mbertrand]

I have a simple QT app for testing purposes. It only haves a few menus that do nothing. Each menu has many sub menu items.
If I lunch my app via on boot via /home/tc/.X.d or from a icon on the wbar I have problems with the menu items. When I click on any of the menus the sub items either don't appear or disappear quickly on mouse press. Sometimes it looks like it gets a double click cause I can see the sub menu items appear and then close right away. All this happens on mouse press, I still did not release the mouse button and sub menus appear and close right away! BUT if I run my test app from a Terminal then menus work well. The only difference I can see is how my app is invoked. When it is not invoked via exec() then menus work!!! Anyone have an idea?

Does qt need Xorg-7.7-3d?

[mbertrand]

No and I'm currently using Xvesa as xserver. I should also state thet this happens with fluxbox but if I use flwm then it only happens once for each menu clicked then it all works!!
I'm  using fluxbox. The odd thing is if I add my test app to the wbar and lunch from there the menus don't work well. Fluxbox will display it in his menu my test app and if I lunch it from there then menus work well?

[Juanito]

did you try with Xorg-7.7-3d instead of Xvesa - just to see if it fixes things...

[mbertrand]

No I did not and that's unfortunately not an option for me.

[mbertrand]

I replace xvesa with xorg and no mouse problem but I find the painting very slow.

[mbertrand]

The Xvesa from TC 5.X repo has no problems with mouse clicks but Xvesa from TC 6.X repo does. I has recently changed from TC 5 to  6 because I wanted to use the nozap arg in Xvesa but the newer one from TC 6.X repo has this mouse click problem. What to do ?

[mbertrand]

Where can I get source for Xvesa and how to build it on TC?

[Juanito]

The source is in tinycore git

[mbertrand]

At some point you added -zozap ? Where can I find that revision? I'm not use to git and I did not really find anything.

[curaga]

The old Xvesa is available in Xvesa-old.tcz, but then you wouldn't have -nozap indeed.

The difference is pretty massive, the old one was from XFree86 sources and the new one from last working Xorg, it's years of changes.

[mbertrand]

Ok so the latest source is at https://github.com/tinycorelinux/tinyx.git ?
I'm thinking of trying first if I can build it and then maybe see what is going wrong with my QT application.
I fllowed some linkes as to what is need to build on Tiny Core but with no success. I will keep trying!

Having lots of problems. Getting errors when I run autogen.sh.

Do you have  sed.tcz  installed?
