Description: - U_xf86-fix-flush-input-to-work-with-Linux-evdev-device.patch * So when we VT switch back and attempt to flush the input devices, we don't succeed because evdev won't return part of an event, since we were only asking for 4 bytes, we'd only get -EINVAL back. This could later cause events to be flushed that we shouldn't have gotten. This is a fix for CVE-2013-1940.
