Created attachment 117269 [details] Full stack trace Occasionally Xorg will crash. I haven't been able to reproduce it consistently. I analysed the core dump from the most recent crash and it appears to be a segfault inside the synaptics driver code. Here's the frame that raises the segfault signal: #9 0x00007fe21b131fde in HandleTouches (hw=0x2c90940, pInfo=0x2c90940) at synaptics.c:3041 slot = <optimized out> para = 0x2d06290 restart_touches = <optimized out> i = 72 priv = 0x2d06290 new_active_touches = <optimized out> min_touches = <optimized out> Line 3041 in synaptics.c is as follows: if (hw->slot_state[slot] == SLOTSTATE_UPDATE && !restart_touches) Slot is set to priv->open_slots[i], which seems to be the problem. (gdb) print *(priv->open_slots) $9 = 0 (gdb) print i $10 = 72 (gdb) print priv->open_slots[72] $11 = 51371952 (gdb) print hw->slot_state[51371952] Cannot access memory at address 0xf088d30 My laptop model is Acer Aspire E5-571-37SY. Let me know if any other information would be helpful.
what version of synaptics and libevdev is this? it's a bug that has been coming back intermittently but seems to evade all attempts to reproduce it. all I know is that at some point the slot count gets whacky and that causes the crash.
Synaptics is 1.8.2.2-x86_64, compiled with debugging symbols. Libevdev is 1.4.3-1, installed from the Arch Linux "extra" repository.
fwiw, if you can figure out any way to make this reproducible that'd be much appreciated.
There's no CANTFIX resolution here, sorry. But without a reproducible test case we've been unable to find the cause for this.
