Hi,
I'm trying to fix a bug in evtouch where by if the screen is tapped and
the date is set (backwards) at the same time then X.org crashes (which
is more often than you might think if you want to run ntp). This is not
reproducable with a regular mouse. Not being that experienced with
development of this kind of thing I can't track down the exact point in
the code where it is occuring. gdb didnt return any useful info for me,
maybe because its a module?
I have emailed the author and had little response (he reports he is very
busy at the moment) and so am hoping you may be able to help. I have
tried wrapping the GetTimeInMillis function to make it monotonic
regardless of clock changes - this had no effect so I think the problem
lies with the timers.
Anyway, if you have the time to take a look, the problem is best
reproduced by tapping the screen and setting the date via the console
simultaneously (pressing enter to change the date ever so slightly after
tapping the screen). With some experimenting you should be able to
reproduce the crash nearly every time.
Kind regards,
Jeremy Powell
