assertion failure:graphics.c:269:gx_priv_restore():egl_result

[TonivdW]

I did a fresh install of 2012-10-28-wheezy-raspbian and successfully compiled pidvbip. When I try to run it I get:

assertion failure:graphics.c:269:gx_priv_restore():egl_result

What am I doing wrong?

I've just installed 2012-10-28 myself and the problem is that the default memory split giving 64MB to the GPU isn't enough. Changing it to 128MB (using raspi-config or manually adding the line "gpu_mem=128" to /boot/config.txt) fixes it for me. Lower values may work (I haven't tested).

I'll leave this issue open though - pidvbip should try and exit more gracefully in such a case. Or at the very least, I should update the README to mention the mimimum GPU memory required.
