Bug#444143: XF86MiscGetMouseSettings fails in xpilot after upgrade to xorg 7.3
Package: libxxf86misc1
Version: 1:1.0.1-2
Severity: normal
After upgrading to xorg 7.3, xpilot-ng-x11 dies as soon as I click the mouse
with the following error:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 137 (XFree86-Misc)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (XF86MiscGetMouseSettings)
Value in failed request: 0x260017b
Serial number of failed request: 513231
Current serial number in output stream: 513231
This happened with two different implementations of xpilot, one in Debian and
one not (but from a common ancestor, so it also uses XFree86-Misc to get mouse
settings) and on two different systems that had been upgraded to xorg 7.3,
one with the proprietary nvidia driver and the other with i810.
If I start xpilot inside a VNC session which lacks the XFree86-Misc extension,
xpilot does not die when I click the mouse (of course, the graphics performance
plunges, so this isn't really a workaround -- but it confirms where the
problem is happening.)
