This error is not harmful. You can ignore it without any trouble to use eman.
But to compile EMAN on Ubuntu (>7.04), you need set ENABLE_UBUNTU in ccmake, type 't' for advanced setting.
If you think this is annoying and want to get rid of it, please do as following:
Seems a lot of users are getting the below errors when running applications from the console: Code: X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 Major opcode: 148 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168 Major opcode: 148 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device To fix this, look for the lines posted below, or similar to, and comment them out of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: Code: # Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "stylus" # Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # # /dev/input/event # # for USB # Option "Type" "stylus" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY #EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "eraser" # Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # # /dev/input/event # # for USB # Option "Type" "eraser" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY #EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Driver "wacom" # Identifier "cursor" # Option "Device" "/dev/wacom" # Change to # # /dev/input/event # # for USB # Option "Type" "cursor" # Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" # Tablet PC ONLY #EndSection Then also a bit further down in the file you need to look for the below lines, or ones similar to these: Code: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" # InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" # InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" # InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection **WARNING** If you fail to comment the lines below that are commented out, then X will *NOT* start when you go to restart the X server. Once you comment those things out then a restart of X is needed. Once X is back up and running again you shouldn't see those errors anymore.
the solution is come from Ubuntu forum, I copy it here in case that link is not approachable.
