Gnome 3.16 spamming syslog

Hi,

after installing Gnome 3.16 today I get the following three lines several times a second in my syslog:
Apr 10 16:31:38 compname /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1324]: GetModeLine - scrn: 0 clock: 106500
Apr 10 16:31:38 compname /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1324]: GetModeLine - hdsp: 1440 hbeg: 1520 hend: 1672 httl: 1904
Apr 10 16:31:38 compname /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1324]: vdsp: 900 vbeg: 903 vend: 909 vttl: 934 flags: 6

Any ideas how I can stop that - or at least stop that part of the logging until the problem might be resolved?

The logs seem only to appear when I do something in Chrome like scrolling or writing in a text input field like right now or another window is on top or below Chrome.

Well, the problem really occurs with Chrome - in stable, beta and dev. No problem in Chromium though. Reported now an issue in Google Chrome. Does no one else have this problem?

To be honest: I don't know. Nowadays I use LightDM and i3.
Iirc I got rid of it but I don't know anymore what I did.

Found it.

I've once enabled the debug setting in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.

[debug]
# Uncomment the line below to turn on debugging
Enable=true

It still doesn't explain why there are so many debug prints when scrolling in Chrome.

Thanks

This seems to have surfaced for more people with xorg-server-1.18.2 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94515
