Thanks for reporting this, as well as testing upstream. To save you some time I've gone ahead and prepared packages in PPAs with each of the evdev patches disabled: https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/apple # no patch 100 https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/banana # no patch 101 https://launchpad.net/~bryce/+archive/cherry # no patch 100 or 101 If you could, please test all three and let me know which one(s) resolve the crash. That should pinpoint which patch is causing the crash. If none of them resolve the crash, then that would suggest some other setting in the packaging, like an incorrect dependency version in debian/control, or an inappropriate configure parameter in debian/rules. To answer your question, you can enable/disable patches in packages like this: apt-get source <package> sudo apt-get build-dep <package> cd <package>-<version> vi debian/patches/series # Comment out patches you want to disable debuild That should generate .deb files (one for the driver, one dbg for debugging). Then install the debs normally, e.g.: dpkg -i *evdev*.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/709915 Title: Ubuntu patches to evdev 2.6.0 crash X -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
