Unfortunately, it takes forever on this machine to compile a kernel after any bigger changes. I can do it early next week when I have access to my bigger box again.
On the other hand, it should be easily reproducible by anyone else with the same trick, here's what I do:
* configure X to use /dev/input/event* devices * in an xterm, do something like rmmod usbhid ; modprobe usbhid * switch to a VT * watch kernel crash as X releases the grab on the event device
Mind you, I actually did this with the appletouch driver, but I don't think it makes a difference since the problematic thing is the code that X grabs the device. A trivial program that executes the grab ioctl would probably suffice if you leave it running over a rmmod/modprobe cycle.
