Comment 41 for bug 281610

10:15 < whot> tjaalton: i'd recompile the evdev driver without properties and then try that
10:16 < whot> tjaalton: ther's a good chance that a length field doesn't get swapped and corrupts memory
10:17 < whot> tjaalton: that should be easy to find by just running xinput --set-int-prop with a few varieties of format

So, try installing the evdev driver without properties support. To do that you have to disable patch 100 which removes the API checks.
