Bug#900352: new xorg-server version causes a random freezes in plasmashell



Package: src:xorg-server
Version: 2:1.20.0-2
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream

Hi,

The severity is set as it breaks "unrelated programs" although I'm not sure a desktop environment can be called "unrelated" to x, but in any case, it would be better if this version of xorg does not migrate to testing till this is fixed.

The new xorg-server version seems to be causing plasmashell to freeze. This was first reported in #900145, and it's also seen in other distros: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58549

Upstream seems to have a patch for this (actually two patches that fix this with two different aproaches), that I havent tested: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2018-May/056829.html

Happy hacking,
