Hello All,
I configured a Kdrive Xserver using the CVS code on X86 Debian system. However, I cannot launch the Xfbdev.
After debugging, I found this issue is caused by the NR_KEYS macro define. I have to modify this macro to 128.
After tarcing the code, I found the readKernelMapping function in keyboard.c has a overflow issue:
In line 140, if the ioctol fails, it will continue to the for loop. It cannot execute the two if statements in line 357.
I suggest to move the two if statements out of the for loop.
Anyone encounted the same problem?
