Thanks for that. I spent the last 27+ hrs troubleshooting this, and remember the package as listed in synaptic. I do realize that it is actually xf86-input-tslib, but went with the name of the package. Since I am on Windows at work right now, and don't have my tablet, I can't supply the logs at the moment. I appreciate you being gracious and looking into this.

Hi,

I'm facing the same bug on my Openmoko GTA04 running qtmoko on Debian testing (jessie) + xserver-xorg-input-tslib built from this source package xf86-input-tslib 0.0.6-7build3.

Here is a piece of related log :

selected device is not a touchscreen I understand
/usr/bin/Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/tslib_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86XInputSetScreen
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
      after 863 requests (863 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Hope this helps.

Commenting out the call to xf86XInputSetScreen in src/tslib.c solves the problem. See Debian bug report #674821 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674821).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

not only, also you need to handle some other API changes, here is patch from gentoo
