Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom Version: 0.26.0+20140918-1 Severity: normal
After prolonged use of X, I found myself getting a "Maximum number of clients reached" error. It appears that the underlying error is a collection of leaks triggered in the VT switching code. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo USB tablet, USB ID 056a:0065, and currently booted with init=/lib/sysvinit/init (as it looked like systemd might have been causing X to leak open fds pointing at /dev/dri/card0 - I still haven't narrowed down the exact cause/fix for that one) To replicate: Start Xorg; control-alt-Fx between X and another VT several times; as root, run 'lsof -n|grep Xorg'. You should see that one of your /dev/input/eventX devices is now open multiple times. This leak goes away if I install xserver-xorg-video-wacom 0.30.0-1 (either by building from the source package and installing it while keeping the rest of my xorg packages the ones from jessie, or by letting apt install 0.30.0-1 and pull in all its dependencies. (The xserver-xorg-core 1.16.4-1.1 package is the stock Debian 1.16.4-1 with a test fix for yet another leak.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages xserver-xorg-input-wacom depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u1 ii libudev1 215-17+deb8u2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.4-1+b2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii xserver-xorg-core [xorg-input-abi-21] 2:1.16.4-1.1 xserver-xorg-input-wacom recommends no packages.
