RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Peter Hutterer 2010-06-04 00:34:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
When the last client disconnects, the server resets all internal state but misses out on the property reset. In the second server generation, the device properties point to garbage data.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Start a plain X server, then run xinput ---list twice against the server. It's important to not have any other clients connected, otherwise the server reset won't happen. Best to do this in a screen session through ssh.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/bin/Xorg :0
2. DISPLAY=:0 xinput --list-props 4
3. DISPLAY=:0 xinput --list-props 4
  
Actual results:
First run:
[whot@rapture src]$ ./xinput --list-props 4
Device 'Virtual core XTEST pointer':
        Device Enabled (117):   1
        Coordinate Transformation Matrix (119): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000
        XTEST Device (233):     1

Second run:
[whot@rapture src]$ ./xinput --list-props 4
Device 'Virtual core XTEST pointer':
        Alt (117):      1
        LAlt (119):             ... of unknown type LevelThree

        Evdev Drag Lock Buttons (233):  1


Expected results:
Both runs should have the same properties showing.

Additional info:
Fix for this is upstream and in the upstream 1.8 branch. Back-portable to our server.
