Thanks.

I find the solution.
Recompiling the Xorg with option ./configure --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man
--with-fontdir=/usr/share/fonts/X11/ --enable-xselinux, then copy
hw/xfree86/Xorg to /usr/bin/Xorg. Hack the source code and trace the
problem.
The bug is FreeFeedbackClass(PtrFeedbackClass,
(pointer)&classes->ptrfeed) in FreeAllDeviceClasses free the same
address twice.
Then I allocate a new PtrFeedbackClassRec, assign to  PtrFeedbackPtr
in my xinput driver. Compare the evtouch source, and read the
xorg-server source, I found this solution and work perfectly.
I learn writing input driver from
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/XorgInputHOWTO, it
also have the shut down problem. After I apply this patch, Window
Manager can be shut down normally now.
