Package: procps Severity: normal > Did you reboot between upgrading/downgrading procps?
No, I merely performed the upgrade while I had stopped X. I was experimenting with changes to xorg.conf because of some X server peculiarities I was reporting to the radeon driver mailing list (xorg-driver-...@lists.x.org). When I restarted X, input was going crazy... so I looked back at the updates that had just come in and decided the only possible upgrade which could be to blame was 'procps'. I logged out, switched to VT1, and downgraded procps. When I restarted the X server (with the same xorg.conf which was in place when input had flaked out), it was fine. I concluded that 'procps' was to blame, then filed the bug report. Just now, I upgraded 'procps' again, and input is fine. Sorry for the noise. It looks very much like the X server had flaked out for some reason, and 'procps' was not to blame. The downgrade of procps most likely had nothing to do with fixing the problem, and restarting X was what really "fixed" it. In the future I will try harder to make sure I am really experiencing a bug before filing a bug report, especially one that I am going to mark as "critical" in severity.
