[Bug 42553] Re: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device

I am shocked ... I installed kubuntu this morning and now the file ".xsession-errors" is 1.6 MB big, that's far bigger than I've expected. :-( On my other computer (SuSE 10.0) this file is only 1.7 kB big. This got me thinking -- X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device

Re: [Bug 42553] Re: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device

It's not a mountain out of a molehill. Other than being annoying (and it is. I believe Linux deserves better cleanup of such stuff at its current maturity level), it is plainly bad. It is even a kind of DOS vulnerability: all the X error messages are collected in a file in your home directory, a

I also can confirm this bug on a PC with Nvidia drivers. First of all, thanks for your workaround, Alex! :-) In my opinion after nearly one year this bug should be fixed, shouldn't it? IMHO the trouble is that "the comment out workaround" works as long as there is no update for xorg.conf, becau

I took a look at duplicates, and only found the following worth mentioning. Recopying an interesting comment from: https://launchpad.net/~cevans at the end of bug #63862: --- I am going to be a bit brave here and reject this, since it seems to be an intentional decision by the Xorg team. If the in

Re: [Bug 42553] Re: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device

That much I have figured out myself :). Still, I think it's a bug that affects many users and it needs to be fixed. (And it's not that harmless. It is creating a huge file in the user's home directory, which may cause the drive to fill up.) Regards, Alex > > My machine is Dell Inspiron 9400,
