[Solved] Xorg Segmentation Fault ChangeWindowDeviceCursor

Xorg is crashing with segfault several times per day for me. Based on the stack trace I found in /var/log/Xorg.*.log, it seems to be maybe triggered when changing the mouse cursor.

Here's the stack trace

[ 28260.975] (EE) 
[ 28260.975] (EE) Backtrace:

Re: [Solved] Xorg Segmentation Fault ChangeWindowDeviceCursor

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258606 known issue with xorg 1.20.9 either patch your xorg with the patch mentioned on the second page or downgrade to 1.20.8

...

Or upgrade to the new 1.20.9-2 package
