Description:
Sometimes synaptics driver crash my Xorg. It's caused by eviocgbit-bug (http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html).
When its happend, screen will wipe of and after moment, somethins show. Its looklike as rectangle in upper side of screen, filled wiht motley dots.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
synaptics-0.14.6c-2
* config and/or log files etc.
dmesg show:
evdev.c(EVIOCGBIT): Suspicious buffer size 511, limiting output to 64 bytes.
See http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html

Steps to reproduce:
I'am not sure, but in my dmesg was (repeatedly) opera segfault just before evdev.c error and i didnt see opera crashing before X died, so i thing there can be some relationshit.
This task depends upon
