[PATCH xserver 1/2] Xi: fix byte-swapping of button labels
Roman Kapl
code at rkapl.cz
Thu Jun 7 01:31:41 UTC 2018
The byte-swapping code forgot that the xXIButtonInfo is followed by a
button mask, not directly by the button labels. This resulted in client
crashes in cross-endian setups, for example in `xinput list --long`,
since the client got an invalid atom.
A new function was introduced to get the right positions for the label
and mask data.
