Description:
Since the upgrade to xorg-server 1.19.1, I, and other Arch users (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=221958, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1688089) have been experiencing occasional X crashes. A bug was filed upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99431, and later identified as a duplicate of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99358. Patches for the latter have been posted and tested, and seem to resolve the issue, though a new upstream release has not yet been cut. It would be great if the patches from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99358 could be applied to the Arch package to stop these crashes from happening until a release is published. |

I hit this today. It seems to be a hard to hit bug, mainly for docked Thinkpads with multi-head monitors, and one of them rotated. It's solved here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1384486
By applying the patches from here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99358
I'm on a Thinkpad x220 with Intel i915 graphics, and my xorg-server is extra/xorg-server 1.19.1-1
Thank you.
