I am not sure if it is still the same issue, but the last comments in this bug are very similar to what is reported in bug 55821.
A reproducible test case I could not find. It just happens during normal use, though a heavy load (suspend/resume) may trigger it quicker. It is hard to be really sure of this however. This is on a Lenovo T410 with fedora 18 (note: I think 17 did not have this problem).

A possible solution is probably to not increase num_active_touches if priv->num_active_touches > priv->num_slots. But this would obviously not fix the underlying cause (just fix the annoying loss of trackpad). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956071 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in XIGetDeviceProperty() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/956071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
