X crashes when attempting to play Neverball with a Wiimote

[Michael Marley]

On Lucid x64, X crashes when I attempt to play Neverball using a Wiimote as the controller with wminput. I launch wminput with the neverball config (wminput --config neverball), which works, putting the mouse into absolute positioning mode based on the Wiimote's tilt sensors. I then launch Neverball, which also works properly initially. However, when I start a level, X crashes, dumping me back at the KDM screen. Here is the relevant output from Xorg.0.log:

Sorry, but it might be awhile before I get a chance to do this. Someone stole my wiimote.
