if i install >=xf86-input-evdev-2.1.0 and press control-C, X quits. this means i'm stuck at xorg-server-1.5.2 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260700
Please attach your xorg.conf, your Xorg.0.log along with the output of dmesg. Let's centralize everything here. Thanks

I had similar problem. The "AllowEmptyInput" "true" option in "ServerFlags" section of "xorg.conf" file solved it for me: Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true" EndSection My explanation: With Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true" console is switched into "raw" mode. As result the "X" server is protected against SIGQUIT leaking into console from "evdev" device driver working without "EVIOCGRAB".
i just tested it with these: x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r4 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.2.0-r1 my mice stopped working, but control-c still crashes X.

make sure you have b33905234025f005819c7e2acd653a3a0ecfeb82 in your server, the problem goes away then. I think you may be triggering a combination that doesn't set RAW mode on the console. Is there any particular reason you're specifying your devices in the config file? If not, just remove all input-related stuff from xorg.conf and let the server do it automagically.

Rémi, please help me out: is b33905234025f005819c7e2acd653a3a0ecfeb82 in x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r4 ?
1.5.3-r5 that I've just committed does. Let me know if it works for you. Thanks
xorg-server-1.5.3-r5 works as expected. thank you all
Closing this bug as fixed then.
Shouldn't the evdev driver "grab" the keyboard (so that keypresses no longer reach the tty layer of the kernel) making this unneccessary? If it did so, this would be the better solution - or am I wrong here?

If the driver does it, then the device cannot be used for other legitimate uses such as gmp (console mouse) or hal's input addon. IIRC, Peter had already tried that approach and clearly the current way is the best. The issue here is that the 1.5 branch is a near-dead end and it's missing a few important patches. Cheers
we used to grab the device until 2.1 and it was the wrong thing to do for reasons stated above - no-one else could use this device and that broke a few things (rfkill, mouse button emulation, etc). so not grabbing is actually the correct solution, it means we're behaving nicely on a global scale.
