Description Fabrice Bellet 2009-03-18 19:10:19 UTC

With current rawhide, I experience the same problem than the one described here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxtst/+bug/337926

It can be very simply reproduced with the xevent program as described in the ubuntu bug report. I filled this bug for the xorg intel driver component, instead of libXtst, because it seems to me specific to the intel driver. I could not reproduce it on another rawhide box, with the radeon driver.

reassigning to xorg-x11-server, as it seems its a bug in the XTEST extension. I think that GetPointerEvents() in ProcXTestFakeInput() should be called with POINTER_SCREEN flag set.

The problem is visible on the eeepc (like described in the ubuntu bug), because of the synaptics driver, that changes pDev->valuator->axes->min_value and max_value. On my other rawhide box, these values are -1, and the bug is somewhat hidden is that case.

Fixed with xorg-x11-server-1.6.0-15. Thanks for reporting.
