This is indeed interesting. I’d be further interested to know if the same problem exists in the 1.8 (devel) version of the SDK. Would you mind downloading this to see?
Thanks!
David
Do you mean notify-level or is there another setting out there as well called notify-display?
I’ll also download the 1.8 beta when I get a chance and see what I find.
Ah, this config file is like a trip down memory lane. I remember saying “framebuffer” all the time…
Sorry, I was mixing up notify-level and notify-level-display. notify-level sets the notification level on all of Panda’s modules, notify-level-display on just the display module. You can set “notify-level spam” to get all of the output.
Okay, here goes. Not really any different than I got out of the Toontown log, but I’ll post it here to see if it’s a good clue for someone to read. This is with notify-level set to spam, but no other change to the notify-level-display setting:

e: 3173543936 for device #0The process is spinning in the background as I type, but no window is visible.
I grabbed the build from this morning and installed it. There are no samples in the build, so I grabbed the Carousel sample from the 1.7.2 build, copied it over, changed the run shortcut to point to the 1.8.0 python and the python script now in my 1.8.0 installation tree. The window comes up quickly, is black, and then vanishes. This was with everything set default so that I could see that I had a baseline.
I left the config using openGL, set the notify level to spam, ran it again, and while it took a bit longer to run, I still got the same results: new window, momentary black screen, vanish, never saw any output anywhere.
Please understand that, while I used to be able to crank out a couple thousand lines of Java on a good day, those days are in the past, and I’m even playing around in notepad as an editor (shocked! shocked!). The sum total of my experience with Python was being in attendance at the W3C conference where the Netscape / Sun Java announcement swept the world by storm, and watching a bitter Guido van Rossum give his talk to a fairly empty room, comparing how many lines of Python code versus Java code it took to do various things. Basically, I’ve never even seen the language, let alone intentionally played around in it.
I’ll do what I can, and happy to run anything you send my way to try out, but I’m a bit of a neophyte right now, and am just happy to offer up my peculiar configuration here to help debug something for everyone. You are, however, going to have to wrap it up and put a bow on it for me to get me to be able to run it for awhile. 
Is there a point where samples will be part of the beta build? If not, is there some other debugging switch I can put on that would help tell exactly where it is that the panda lib is hanging when run against DirectX?
The sample programs are the same in 1.7.2 and in the development build.
You could hang a debugger on pview (assuming pview gives the same issue - have you tried that?), and try to get a traceback of where exactly it’s hanging, that’d be the most useful piece of information at this point.
I assume you’re running the sample programs from the command-line, right? Otherwise you’re not going to see any output anyway.
Okay, starting pview gives the same problem as everything else, when running it against DirectX9 instead of OpenGL:

Hung right there. No Pview window comes up, nothing. No idea where I am at that point. If there is some way to turn on single stepping or the like, or something even chattier, I’m happy to do it.
Oh, and I went and checked: same identical hang in Panda 1.8.0 beta I downloaded a week ago, so the same bug is looming there as well.
I do believe (gut feeling here) this is either a device driver bug, or the device driver just returns something Panda never expected and causes it to overrun and hang, etc. Finding a way to tell exactly what DirectX call is being made and telling where the hang is would be my hunch on how to find this. Thanks.
Could you try hanging a debugger (like the MSVC 2008 one) on pview and pause execution when it freezes, and show us the stacktrace?
I seriously don’t have any development tool on hand anymore. I would if I could.
This is a long trip and causing me to really try to shake off the cobwebs…
Without symbols, I’m not getting a stack trace for you. Attaching to the python process, getting the process hung as before (same debugging output), when I break the process I’m at libpandadx9.dll!063a95c5() That’s the best I can do right now with things such as they are. To get this far, I installed the MSVC++ 2010 Express.
Edit: I forgot to mention, this is with the 1.7.2 distribution.
drwr I just wanted to say thank you for finding me a workaround to the Toonrown issue.
My wife’s laptop has a dedicated card that runs through an intel card and this is the only workaround besides loading a mod bios that I have found.
Again, I know this post was a longtime ago, but it was great being able to find this and hopefully this will help others as well.
