Hi,

I've been getting messages like this in my syslog (Linux 2.6.30):

Sep 24 17:55:59 azrael kernel: [216963.680034] evdev.c(EVIOCGBIT): Suspicious buffer size 511, limiting output to 64 bytes. See http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html

So I changed this in Eventhelpers.cpp:

Code: [Select]

# diff EventHelpers.cpp EventHelpers.cpp-DIST
67,68c67,68
< ioctl(deviceID, EVIOCGBIT(i, sizeof(info[1])), info[1]);
< for (int j = 0; j < sizeof(info[1]); j++)
---
> ioctl(deviceID, EVIOCGBIT(i, KEY_MAX), info[1]);
> for (int j = 0; j < KEY_MAX; j++)
It seems to work (ie. the syslog messages are gone and my app doesn't crash) but I've no idea whether it's actually a good fix.

I couldn't say either way, haven't looked at that code in a while (and was changed by a patch). Would be nice if you could put the patch on sourceforge, so it doesn't get forgotten/lost.
