Subject: Re: xserver-xorg-input-evtouch: Changes to 'refs/tags/0.8.5' From: Jeremy Powell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2007 10:08:49 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (X11/20070326) 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.
