Hello,
         Well I have put some print statements to know where server stops.

I am using xorg-server version 1.2. We have not connected any input
device to our kit and want to run touch screen through tslib.

I came across one more thing, the server fails while trying to enable
some input device. It enables pointing device but while next time it
fails to enable input device.

Why is it so ? As we dont have any keyboard then it should not call
Registerkyeboarddevice also ?
