Bug#856499: Xorg crash when rotation or other transform used
Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.19.1-4
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
I'm experiencing random and frequent X crashes on the current stretch
version of Xorg. They occur for me using a laptop with external monitors
which are rotated. After some searching, this is a confirmed and fixed
issue with upstream. I'm filing it as important since it won't affect
everyone (only those using transforms such as rotation), but would
request consideration for it being flagged as serious to enable
incorporation of the fix into stretch, since it's far from an isolated
usage pattern.
The upstream bugzilla is below, as well as the original Fedora report
that spawned the upstream fix.
