Description Maxim Kammerer 2012-11-22 13:00:09 UTC

The message in Xorg.0.log is:

(EE) BUG: triggered 'if (inSignalContext)'
(EE) BUG: /var/tmp/portage/x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.0-r1/work/xorg-server-1.13.0/os/log.c:484 in LogVMessageVerb()
(EE) Warning: attempting to log data in a signal unsafe manner while in signal context.
Please update to check inSignalContext and/or use LogMessageVerbSigSafe() or ErrorFSigSafe().
The offending log format message is:
VMWARE(0): vmmouse enable absolute mode

(EE) 
(EE) Backtrace:
(EE) 0: /usr/bin/X (xorg_backtrace+0x55) [0x10f03491]
(EE) 
(II) VMWARE(0): vmmouse enable absolute mode


Mouse seems to work fine, though (tested in QEMU).

The xserver has stopped doing the SIGIO mess.
