<pre>Hello Axel,
thanks for the explanation. So if I understand this correctly, then this issues
comes from the fact that each XCB connection object is protected by a (single)
mutex (the iolock one, if I read the libxcb code correctly), which causes
trouble in Mesa' GLX DRI3 implementation because the same XCB connection is
then used from two different threads.
One thread A uses the connection to wait for one event, which doesn't come
because thread B is blocked (XCB mutex is locked) and therefore never reaches
the point where the event is signalled.
I had a brief look at the Xnine implementation and the GLX DRI3 one, but I'm
not too familiar with it to port the "two connection" approach over.</pre>
