Second X-Server fails to start: BUG: triggered 'if (axnum >= dev->valuator->numAxes)'

[Malte Wetz]

I'm using Xubuntu 15.04, installed from scratch with the default Xorg package (7.7) and kernel 3.19.0.

The first X-Server starts fine. I'm actually writing this report under it right now.

But when I try to launch another X-Server from a text console (using the command 'startx -- :1'), this happens:

I think it's trying to initialize the additional keys on my mouse as keyboard device and has some problems with that.

These errors do not occur on the first X-Server, only the second. I found a few reports on this via Google. But those were other instances and none of them had a solution anyway.

Before I installed 15.04, I was running 14.04 and there the second X-Server working without problems.

The full Xorg error log is attached to this post.
