           Summary: Xserver took a SEGV when the void driver was used for
                    keyboard/mouse
           Product: xorg
           Version: 6.8.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: dwong_7086 at yahoo.com

When the void driver was specified in the XFConfig as the keyboard and/or mouse
driver and 'startx' was used to start the Xserver, the Xserver took a SEGV. it
turned out the Xserver was trying to dereference a bogus pointer in
ProcGetKeyboardControl. 
Furthermore, after resolving the above issues in my own copy of the Xserver,
XTestFakeKeyEvent could not sent multiple pressed key simultaneously due to
the size of void_map[].
i will follow up w/ a proposed fix.
