I think I've figured out this bug. It looks like the new libxi was built against the new input protocol headers, while the server was built against the old headers. The mismatch in the protocol could very well be causing this bug. I've uploaded a simple rebuild of the xserver to alioth. Could you add the following to your sources.list and upgrade your server to see if that fixes the bug? deb http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/libxi-fix ./ If it does, I'll sign the packages and make an upload of this build to unstable. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
