Hi,
Newer xorg-servers have some kind of automatic input device detection
on server startup. I discovered a configuration that makes the server
crash during initialisation. I'm talking about crashes on
xorg-server-1.1.99.901 and xorg-server-1.1.99.902.
This ServerLayout works:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "normal"
Screen "Screen0"
Inputdevice "Mouse0" "Corepointer"
Inputdevice "Keyboard0"
EndSection
This ServerLayout also works (autodetection):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "normal"
Screen "Screen0"
EndSection
This one crashes (say: semi-automatic):
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "normal"
Screen "Screen0"
Inputdevice "Mouse0" "Corepointer"
EndSection
When the InputDevice section of Mouse0 is as follows:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "evdev"
# Uit /proc/bus/input/devices
Option "Name" "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
Identifier "Mouse0"
EndSection
The problem does not occur when the (xf86-input-)mouse driver is
specified in the InputDevice section of Mouse0. So, it might also be
an evdev specific problem here.
Tested:
xorg-server-1.1.1 OK
xorg-server-1.1.99.901 CRASHING
xorg-server-1.1.99.902 CRASHING
Best regards,
Gerte
