Xorg >1.7.5 ABI version mismatch

Asked by Ali Lown

The tablet refuses to work with X.
The calibration reports the events correctly.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log reports something like:
(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (7)

The workaround is to add to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "ServerFlags"
     Option "IgnoreABI" "true"
EndSection

This makes X load any module whether they are said to be for this version or not.

For me this workaround does not work. I wrote about it in Question #109316.
