The culprit is:
+#define EVIOCGNAME(len) _IOC(_IOC_READ, 'E', 0x06, len) /* get device
name */
and
+static Bool
+event_query_is_alps(int fd)
+{
+ char name[5]="";
+ ioctl(fd, EVIOCGNAME(sizeof(name)),name);
+ name[4]='\0';
+ if (strcmp(name, "Alps") == 0)
+ return TRUE;
+ return FALSE;
+}
Did any of you (at ubuntu) forwarded the patch upstream already?
thanks
