Coredump

Since Xorg 19.x (On Arch) Xorg will randomly crash with random intervals of one to several hours.

This seems to be related to xf86-input-wacom, based on suer reports. I personally only experience the crash when my Wacom tablet is in use, while some users reported removing xf86-input-wacom either solved it, or made the crashes much less frequent.

This affects nVidia cards too, so separate from the similar crash with Intel drivers.

My apologies if this report is not the best, I'm not the most qualified person to do this but nobody else seemed to want to do it.

Since I really need a stable system to work and can't afford to remove xf86-input-wacom I'm sitting on a downgraded system ever since. :(

Thanks for your report, I reckon this is a duplicate of bug 99887 which is exactly the same issue and wqas traced back to the wacom driver.

The other bug also contains a link to a patch for Xorg to report and avoid (input) drivers that would send data to client from the input thread.

Alternatively, you may use either git master or xserver-1.19-branch which both contain that patch.
