Bug#457722: trying freedesktop solutions
I have now tried commenting out the "xf86XInputSetScreen" call which I found
on line 259.
I tried it with the unadulterated Debian source which caused X to hang: I
could only restart the machine by holding down the power button.
I then tried it both with the "is_core_pointer=0" and
with "is_core_pointer=1". They both produced the same result which is the
last result I described: no pointer movement but output appearing
from "cat /dev/ttyS1".
I'm afraid that I do not understand what "try those two" mean. I presume that
the second item is related to freedesktop bug 10324, but I could not identify
the test.
Many thanks for all your help.
(Sorry about the delay in responding, I have been forced to live outside of my
home for the last two weeks due to leaking from an upstairs neighbour. This
shall mean that I shall also be away from my home between 2nd Feb and 23 Feb
while the serious work is done on repairs.)
Kind Regards
