           Summary: [R300] SDL apps using SDL_SetGamma crashes X
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: high
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: toni.spets at gmail.com
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


When SDL_SetGamma() is called by any SDL app it will crash the X server. This
happens only with ati drivers, vesa works fine.

Crashing snippet:
-- snip --
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

int main()
{
        SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
        SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 16, 0); 
        SDL_SetGamma(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
}
-- snap --

After more digging the SDL source I found X11_SetGammaRamp() function produces
the crash when it calls XStoreColors() at the end of it.

xgamma works and it uses XF86VidModeSetGamma().
