Package: mouseemu
Version: 0.15-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
2.6.19-rcX cares about more fields in uinput_user_dev. Since we pass in
random values for e.g. ff_ in uinput this results in a completely dead
keyboard since the uinput device never gets fully initialized. Obvious
fix attached, please apply.
The second patch fixes the wrong detection of write failures. Write
returns negative values on errors (and we aren't too happy with 0
either), with this patch we would have seen -EINVAL due to the
uninitialized uinput_user_dev.
I didn't make this release critical since etch is supposed to ship with
2.6.18, but it would be nice if it would work on newer kernels too.
Cheers,
-- Guido
