I suspect this may a kernel bug, not an XFree86 bug..
I'm running a -current kernel, -current libraries, and 1.2C
rest-of-userland (in the middle of a build...)
the XF86_SVGA server is failing in a rather odd way: it's coming up,
changing the display resolution, and then dying with the following
error:
Unable to set status of mouse fd (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
ktrace shows the syscall which failed like the following:
4931 XF86_SVGA 866509884.043019 CALL ioctl(0x4,TIOCSETAW,0xf7bfdb5c)
4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585032 PSIG SIGUSR1 caught handler=0xad554 mask=0x0 code=0x0
4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585372 RET ioctl -1 errno 25 Inappropriate ioctl for device
4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585605 CALL sigreturn(0xf7bfdaa4)
4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585839 RET sigreturn JUSTRETURN
The mouse is a logitech 3-button trackball connected through tty00.
it worked flawlessly until I had to upgrade from 3.2A to 3.3 because
the #%^$#& 3.2A X server expired on me.
I'm using pcvt as the console..
Additional data available on request.
Anyone else seen this?
