ports/131124: x11/xorg - New xorg 7.4 hangs until mouse is moved when AllowEmptyInput turned off

[Subscriber]

Firstly, pardon me for my poor English. Let me try to explain what I see.

As you recommended, I attached usb mouse (trivial scroll+2but) to my notebook. 
With external mouse pointing became more easy, but problem still present. I'll 
try to explain deeper: when I simply place finger on touchpad (for moving 
cursor) and then slowly move it, object under cursor catched (for explain, 
letter in thunderbird's list), holded about second and then released, as if I 
do 'tap-n-hold'. After it if I take finger from touchpad, cursor stop blinking 
and then blink just when I move finger again. Move finger - cursor blink once 
or twice, take finger away - cursor stoped. If I try to enter text at this 
moment (in xterm, Terminal, firefox address bar and so on), this text 
displayed only after touching touchpad again.

With external usb mouse I see the same effect - while I move mouse, cursor 
blink and text entered as usual, but if mouse stoped, cursor stoped blinking too.

After several clicking left and right buttons randomly or just several mouse 
moving (I can't discover regularity) cursor 'unfreeze' and text entering 
became independent of mouse moving until I clicking anywhere again.


Excuse me for long post, I hope this help you understand source of problem. I 
am not programmer (not for PC, anyway) and can answer more detailed only if 
you tell me, what exactly need to do.
