After doing some more investigation it seems that just a single debian patch to synaptics is broken
because it checks for xf86Screens[0]->vtSema and failing a grab if it's unset. But I think this patch
is no longer needed, so I can fix it up by adding the appropriate breaks in xorg-server.

My bad though, I thought that when the abi is bumped it automatically means even input would crash in unexpected ways too.
