Please go to bugs.freedesktop.org and search for your bug, or file a new one if you cannot find it. Post the URL of the bug here once you do. I tested with vanilla kernels as well, both 2.6.16.24 and 2.6.17.4 works. -- it seems like a error in the gentoo kernel patch-set. Hmmm... If noone objekts I'll send this upstream to freedesktop the first thing in the morning (GMT+1). Sent upstream Upstream marked NOTOURBUG. Looks like this is in the kernel team's hands for now... The problem is that the device nodes get switch. Before update (all other): /dev/event0 -> keybord /dev/event1 -> mouse After update (2.6.17-gentoo2): /dev/event0 -> mouse /dev/event1 -> keyboard After chanching the xorg.conf to the new values XServer starts without problems. Alright. Kernel guys, any idea why this happens? Rickard, do the device nodes get switched when you're rebooting the machine ? I'm only guessing here, but you're using udev right ? (since its in system ..) (In reply to comment #9) > Rickard, do the device nodes get switched when you're rebooting the machine ? Yes, when I boot into the 2.6.17-gentoo2 kernel the nodes are switched, any other kernel (of those I have tested) thay are created as normal. > I'm only guessing here, but you're using udev right ? (since its in system ..) Yes, I'm using udev. It is quite common for them to get changed over kernel upgrades I think. The X config file allows you to specify the descriptive names or other attributes, rather than relying on the device node being in a specific place. Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.17-r4. Reassigning back to X11 as I consider it a bug that X crashed and produced a backtrace in this scenario. If you disagree, just close this bug as fixed.
