[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#619918: getXconsole break in asus-touchpad.sh

[Milan Čermák]

Hi,
I'd like to reopen the bug as I can see the issue on my Lenovo X220.
The script is called through thinkpad-stretchortouchpad.sh.

I can prove that acpi is generating an event and running the script. 
However, "xinput list" returns empty output when run by acpid.

The message seen by Roman Nikolaev "Couldnt get a file descriptor 
referring to the console" is indeed printed when the script is run by a 
user owning the X session.
When run by root, the script runs fine and toggles the touchpad alright.

This behavior is seen since update of acpid to 2.0.7-1squeeze3 and 
possibly caused by security fix in 2.0.7-1squeeze2.

Let me know if you need more information.
Regards,
Milan Cermak
