WaitForSomething(): select: Invalid argument
My X server is frequently crashing with the error "WaitForSomething(): select: Invalid argument". There has been a previous report on this issue in which the suggested action was to upgrade the synaptics driver (http://lists.x.org/pipermail/xorg/2013-May/055680.html). I am already running a significantly newer driver than the user in that report was, as I'm using 1.7.4. The crash happens frequently, and mostly random. However I am able to reproduce it on demand by launching the HipChat client. As soon as the app finishes loading and goes to display the main window, X crashes with the mentioned error. I have attached the Xorg.0.log from a crashed session. I have also attached a packet capture of HipChat talking to the X server so you can see what it's doing to cause the crash. I am using: xorg-server 1.15.0 xf86-input-evdev 2.8.2 xf86-input-synaptics 1.7.4 xf86-video-intel 2.21.15 kernel 3.14.14 -Patrick [ 342.140] X.Org X Server 1.15.0 Release Date: 2013-12-27 [ 342.140] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 342.140] Build Operating System: Linux 3.14.14-gentoo x86_64 Gentoo [ 342.140] Current Operating System: Linux gadget 3.14.14-gentoo #13 SMP Mon Oct 13 10:45:53 EDT 2014 x86_64 [ 342.140] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/kernel-3.14.14-gentoo log_buf_len=128K consoleblank=0 root=/dev/sys/root [ 342.140] Build Date: 05 October 2014 07:21:00PM [ 342.140] [ 342.140] Current version of pixman: 0.32.4 [ 342.140]Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
