Bug#865871: xserver-xorg-input-libinput: xorg crashes when using touchpad and keyboard simultaneously in konsole
Source: xserver-xorg-input-libinput
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
on a recently installed Debian Stretch system with KDE5 desktop on a Thinkpad T410s the entire
system becomes unusable when I use both the touchpad and the keyboard. This happens specifically
when working in Kate and searching through my bash history with the arrow up and down keys and
simultaneously moving the cursor with the touchpad. The display occasionally flickers and
the entire xorg session crashes within a few seconds. Simultaneous use of a mouse instead of the
touchpad works fine. It is not possible to switch to another terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F* and can
only be restarted with a hard reset. The crashes occur frequently enough to render the system
unusable.
I have since deinstalled the xserver-xorg-input-libinput package and reverted to using evdev
drivers without any issues.
