Well I am glad to hear it can be made stable, because I did believe I
fixed the instability last patch set.
However I don't get why neod sucking on the input device too makes
trouble (other than the CPU load or whatever). The input layer in Linux
takes care about copying the input content around consistently so
everyone with the input device open gets one copy of what's happening.
Ie, the accel driver is not aware that there are multiple apps
listening. I guess it is a bug in the accel driver somehow still, but a
much less worrying one that the SPI sharing difficulties until now.

Hi Andy,
if i shutdown X-Server i am able to open the /dev/input/events twice or
more times. And it work. So it should be not the problem if the device
is opened by multiple processes. Just if the X-Server is up only one
event work. lsof show that all events are opened by neod:
>lsof
neod 1675 root 4r CHR 13,64 1427
/dev/input/event0
neod 1675 root 6r CHR 13,65 1568
/dev/input/event1
neod 1675 root 7r CHR 13,66 1590
/dev/input/event2
neod 1675 root 8r CHR 13,67 1609
/dev/input/event3
neod 1675 root 9r CHR 13,68 1464
/dev/input/event4
