Subject: kdm crash (due to a bug in libx11-6 o xserver in unstable?)
Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I want to report a bug that makes kdm crash, though I believe that the bug
is not caused by kdm itself but probably by the xserver in unstable (that
have changed the way of handling input devices, in particular the keyboard).
[with the xserver-xorg in lenny (version 1.7.20) things work fine, with
the version in unstable (1.7.4+4) kdm crashes.
Here is the back trace generated by kcrash: as you can see the segfault
occurs in src/xkb/XKBBind.c (line 320) from libx11:

I'm using a serial mouse, thefore I'm using the xserver-xorg-input-mouse
(version 1:1.0.4-4) and xserver-xorg-input-kbd (version 1:1.3.2-4) drivers
(and not evdev). Here is my xorg.conf file:
