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.

Cause: Raw events did not contain relative axis values as they should. Introduced by backport of an upstream bug. Consequence: Clients relying on relative values for functioning would not behave as expected Fix: set the values to the original driver values instead of the already transformed values. Result: Raw events contain relative axis values

Description of problem:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46976

Introduced by upstream commit 4e52cc0ef48145134cd58d357fb7289e6f8bb709 which was backported for Bug #783505.

Proposed fix upstream: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/9595/

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-14.el6

How reproducible:
Test program attached in freedesktop bugzilla.
