Unfortunately, the evtest log from Fabien was for one of the non-crashing evdev nodes for his device. I would appreciate it if anyone could follow these instructions to get a device recording so other can test out the device virtually:

Stop X so it doesn't crash anymore:
1. logout
1. Enter VT 1 by pressing ctrl + alt + f1
2. login to the console
3. $ sudo stop gdm

Record the device properties of the crashing event node:
4. plug in device
5. $ sudo evemu-describe (/dev/input/by-path/name where name is your device name) > device.prop

Return to X:
6. unplug device
7. sudo start gdm

There may be multiple names for your device. If you are unsure which event node is causing the device to fail, please get device files for them all.

Thanks!
