Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-4~dmitrmax.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Driver forgets to ungrab the event device so the next time it is grabbed EBUSY
is returned.
This happens e.g. when I logoff from KDE session and return to KDM screen. Only
restarting
the X server helps.
Bellow patch that fixes the problem.
