This definitely didn't happen with Xorg 7.0, and I'm moderately confident the upgrade to 7.2 is to blame -- but calibration drift issues made me not stop using the touchscreen regularly so I can't be confident 7.1 was crash-free. My aptitude log implies that most of 7.2 was rolled out on 30 Apr, with some libraries leaking in starting on 9 Apr. I'm confident it's not kernel related. Before 7.0 I was using the (unpackaged) usbtouch driver instead, but I can't compare it any more because of a dramatic ABI change. - robert jacobs P.S. I'm currently in "desperately writing thesis mode" -- i'll try rolling back to 7.1 using snapshot.debian.net in 3 weeks when deadlines aren't looming over my head. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
