[ros-users] 'rviz' received an X Window System error

[hitesh dhiman]

Hi Stefan,
I upgraded the graphics driver and xorg.
After a reboot, rviz is working, and gives that error occasionally, a 50/50
chance as you said.
Still, any idea why this error occurs? Some pointers on the cause of the
problem might be helpful for troubleshooting in future.

Thanks!
