Digg This

That I've seen before, analysed a bit and posted:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/4281

Ahh.. And this is presumably triggered either by some new Xorg behavior in fc9 or just the scheduler timing changes that caused other things too?

I tend to think it's actually a regression, I've done exactly what I described there dozens of times before on older kernels and it doesn't seem to be a race condition, X always locks the input device and I never had trouble with that before.

Your suggested solution sounds ok, but I'm also wondering why those things aren't properly refcounted? It does sound like a bug to free the thing before all users are gone - regardless of anything else. Hmm?

I have to admit to not understanding the depths of the input code, I just took a quick look when I posted that. Mind you, that was 5 weeks ago!

But the ungrab sounds like the best short-term fix. Do we have a patch for testing? Please? It's pretty late in the 2.6.25 cycle for these kinds of things..

I don't. I think Dmitry just said in the other mail that he did, but I haven't seen that yet.
