Description David Wong 2005-02-03 11:40:23 UTC 
When the void driver was specified in the XFConfig as the keyboard and/or mouse
driver and 'startx' was used to start the Xserver, the Xserver took a SEGV. it
turned out the Xserver was trying to dereference a bogus pointer in
ProcGetKeyboardControl. 
Furthermore, after resolving the above issues in my own copy of the Xserver,
XTestFakeKeyEvent could not sent multiple pressed key simultaneously due to
the size of void_map[].
i will follow up w/ a proposed fix.
