Comment 16 for bug 1081108

I experience the same problem if I disable the touchpad using Xinput using this script:

#!/bin/sh
for device in 'PS/2 Mouse' 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse' 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint'; do
  /usr/bin/xinput set-prop "$device" 'Device Enabled' 0
done

It's then enough to launch Inkscape and click on the empty workspace to have X crash. The stacktrace in Xorg log is the same (even the relative address offsets are identical).

If I disable the touchpad then reenable it using this script, I can use Inkscape safely:

#!/bin/sh
for device in 'PS/2 Mouse' 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse' 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint'; do
  /usr/bin/xinput set-prop "$device" 'Device Enabled' 1
done
