I suspect this may a kernel bug, not an XFree86 bug..

I'm running a -current kernel, -current libraries, and 1.2C
rest-of-userland (in the middle of a build...)

the XF86_SVGA server is failing in a rather odd way: it's coming up,
changing the display resolution, and then dying with the following
error:

	Unable to set status of mouse fd (Inappropriate ioctl for device)

ktrace shows the syscall which failed like the following:

  4931 XF86_SVGA 866509884.043019 CALL  ioctl(0x4,TIOCSETAW,0xf7bfdb5c)
  4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585032 PSIG  SIGUSR1 caught handler=0xad554 mask=0x0 code=0x0
  4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585372 RET   ioctl -1 errno 25 Inappropriate ioctl for device
  4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585605 CALL  sigreturn(0xf7bfdaa4)
  4931 XF86_SVGA 866509885.585839 RET   sigreturn JUSTRETURN

The mouse is a logitech 3-button trackball connected through tty00.
it worked flawlessly until I had to upgrade from 3.2A to 3.3 because
the #%^$#& 3.2A X server expired on me.

I'm using pcvt as the console..

Additional data available on request.

Anyone else seen this?
