From Grazvydas Ignotas At least xserver 1.7.4 crashes on XGetPointerControl request because of xf86-input-tslib: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0x000355e0 in ProcGetPointerControl (client=0x4a2e58) at devices.c:2122 #1 0x00062fa8 in Dispatch () at dispatch.c:439 #2 0x00022444 in main (argc=4, argv=0xbeebedc4, envp=0xbeebedd8) at main.c:285 This happens because ptrfeed field is not set in device structure from tslib. To fix this, call InitPtrFeedbackClassDeviceStruct() during DEVICE_INIT to get necessary setup done (as done in other input drivers). --- diff -ur xf86-input-tslib-0.0.6/src/tslib.c xf86-input-tslib-0.0.6_/src/tslib.c --- xf86-input-tslib-0.0.6/src/tslib.c 2010-02-09 12:23:22.000000000 +0200 +++ xf86-input-tslib-0.0.6_/src/tslib.c 2010-02-09 12:37:33.000000000 +0200 @@ -103,8 +103,6 @@ static void PointerControlProc(DeviceIntPtr dev, PtrCtrl * ctrl) { - ErrorF("%s\n", __FUNCTION__); - return; } static Bool @@ -406,6 +404,8 @@ xf86MotionHistoryAllocate(pInfo); #endif + if (!InitPtrFeedbackClassDeviceStruct(device, PointerControlProc)) + return !Success; break; case DEVICE_ON:
