After emerging xf86-input-evdev-1.99.2, X freezes at X cursor and goes no further. The computer in question remains fully accessible via the network. However, other than using a configured acpi power switch to shut off the machine, there is no way to end the X session and return to a console session. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge xf86-input-evdev. 2. start X session 3. the screen freezes with a white X cursor on a black screen 4. computer is accessible via network, but no longer responds to the mouse or keyboard. 5. moving down to xf68-input-evdev-1.2.0 returns full functionality. Actual Results: The computer is accessible via network, but no longer responds to the mouse or keyboard. Cannot return to console session. Expected Results: Expected it to work. The problem occurs with both 32 and 64 bit systems. The effect was first noted on a 64 bit system, therefore I will include its emerge --info debby-anne-ii ~ # emerge --info Portage 2.1.5.4 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.22-gentoo-r10 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r10 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6550 @ 2.33GHz Timestamp of tree: Sat, 07 Jun 2008 04:06:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [enabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.62 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=nocona -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distcc distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j512" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac accessibility acl alsa amd64 audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt css cups dbus dlloader dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode fam ffmpeg fftw firefox flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gsl gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde kdexdeltas kdgraphics ladspa lame ldap libg++ libsamplerate libwww live mad midi mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap nas ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdcre pdf pdflib perl php png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session slang slp sndfile spell spl sse sse2 ssl swat tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode vorbis wxwindows x11-libs/qt:4 x264 xml xorg xscreensaver xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ice1712" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer proxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i830" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

i can confirm this problem. if i remove the patch '0002-Check-for-XINPUT-ABI-parameters-of-InitValuatorClas.patch' X starts but if i move my mouse over to my second monitor (xinerama) the cursor comes into a jail of the second monitor so i can't move back to the firstone.
I am fairly sure that I have the same problem. I get an undefined symbol error: X.Org X Server 1.4.0.90 Release Date: 5 September 2007 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 x86_64 Current Operating System: Linux buttercup 2.6.25-gentoo-r4 #5 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 24 20:36:02 EST 2008 x86_64 Build Date: 25 May 2008 03:36:48PM Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

I didn't notice this and rebooted my laptop. After that, I cannot log in any way. Ctrl+Alt+Fx won't work. After errors of xf86-input-evdev and press Enter to close the blue X error window, another OK pops up and keyboard loses function. I notice that xf86-input-evdev-1.99.2 ebuild tells us that something will need to be done but doesn't say how.
I can confirm the bug. Restoring x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-1.2.0 resolves the problem
I've masked the broken version for now. - The "undefined symbol: GetMotionEvents" bug has just been fixed upstream. - For the other issue (pointer can't be moved to other screens) see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/29159
(In reply to comment #6) > - The "undefined symbol: GetMotionEvents" bug has just been fixed upstream. Just for clarification: That's the cause for the freeze.
I added this version so I'll take the bug.
I can confirm too. This gave me alot of headaches this morning as I lost both boxes for a while this morning!!!!
(In reply to comment #8) > I added this version so I'll take the bug. > 1.99.2-r1 works fine here with the patch from sven wegener. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg/29159
The pointer patch has been accepted by upstream: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-input-evdev.git;a=commitdiff;h=fec73e1418a4da1b64496faca27b06fef0aa5206
Added the second patch to -r2 and unmasked.
Problem fixed for me.
I also add myself to the works for me crowd. Thanks Blessed be! Pappy
