Xorg crashes after using zram.

I am running Arch on my virtual machine (Virtualbox) and my ram was getting filled up very fast (1950 MiB).
I read that i can use zram to compress my RAM.
It works, but seems that xorg crashes when RAM gets swapped out.

To start zram i am using systemd-swap service.
I have latest Arch kernel 4.14.4-1-ARCH

Re: Xorg crashes after using zram.

Are you sure it's a crash, or is it just the OOM (out-of-memory) killer terminating the process?

Please could you post the output of "swapon -s" when swap is enabled, and the end of "dmesg" after the crash?
