I've posted a proposed patch for this, although I have no way to test to see if it helps. What it does is prevent the main thread and input thread from scrambling the pointer private structures used by the VGA arbiter. commit cf7517675d988c2d1ff967d6d162a17acbdad466 Author: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com> Date: Wed Aug 2 21:34:52 2017 -0700 xfree86: Hold input_lock across SPRITE functions in VGA arbiter Avoid scrambling the sprite functions wrapper.
