I decided to use my 'pen' again as input device. First I noticed that /dev/tts/0 did not exist anymore, so I reverted back to /dev/ttyS0. But when my 'pen' got close to the surface of the tablet. Linux/X completely crashes. I did not investigate if I could still log in remotely, but locally there is no way to make the machine to restart/switch back to a working console. I presume this is an ABI incompatibility, and in the upstream git to changes are found yet. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-hyperpen/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use hyperpen as driver 2. apply pen to the surface 3. crash Actual Results: Crashing Xorg Expected Results: Mouse movement. cat /dev/ttyS0 works.
From a conversation on IRC, it seems the ABI has changed, therefore the driver calls a non-existent X function. This is solved now, could someone package it? Or apply the patch if the user uses 1.4?
Not a build failure per se, but I'm adding the blocker so we take a look at it. The ABI mismatch should have been caught by xorg-server. Thanks
I've added xf86-input-hyperpen-1.3.0 to portage. If you can still reproduce the issue with this version, please don't hesitate to reopen this bug. Thanks
