Subject: xserver-xorg-input-tslib: undefined symbol: xf86XInputSetScreen reported when X loads tslib_drv.so

Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 09:47:01 +1000

Package: xserver-xorg-input-tslib
Version: 0.0.6-7+b2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

 The current version of xserver-xorg-input-tslib still uses
xf86XInputSetScreen which has been removed in the latest
xserver-xorg-core.
That makes xserver-xorg-input-tslib_0.0.6-7+b2 incompatible
with xserver-xorg-core 2:1.12.1.902-1.
Reverting to xserver-xorg-core_1.11.4-1 and related packages
restores a functioning X server.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

Hi,

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693158

seems to suffer from a similar issue. There's a patch that just comments
out the call to the function in question...

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: xf86-input-tslib
Followup-For: Bug #674821

I've tested by commenting out the call and works without problems, to be sure I've instead
made a patch using the code that was removed from xorg, so teorically it should behave like
in xorg 1.11

I've not directly tested the effect of the patch, but it should be ok,
I'll report results asap

Regards

Hi, I've just tested the patch and it works fine for me, it would be 
nice to have the package in wheezy but I don't known exactly the policy

This patch isn't enough anymore to build for Jessie.
Please consider using the source package from Ubuntu [1] which solves
all the Xorg API changes related FTBSs so far.

Many thanks in advance,
