The increment sign wasn't taking into account when checking if the next
value is past our current value. The result was that for negative
increments, we kept looping indefinitely, locking up the server.
Easiest to reproduce with the evdev driver which has a negative
increment on the y axis.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
