Has anyone here noticed that x.org likes to crash sometimes as of late?
Never happened before, going years and years back. The last month or so,
I've got three x.org crashes:
systemd-coredump[204553]: [🡕] Process 453 (X) of user 0 dumped core.
This is x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.2-r2.
qlop -v x11-base/xorg-server says:
2021-08-04T17:58:15 >>> x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.13-r1: 52s

So it seems this coincides with the upgrade from 1.20.13 to 21.1.1 about
a month ago.
Anyone else seeing this?
I have been suffering similar symptoms[1] on a AMD Kaveri APU powered box, running plasma with two monitors, which worsened[2] in the last couple of weeks. All other boxen work fine, so I assumed some Radeon driver issue specific to this machine.
[1] For some months now the RH monitor would not acquire the correct resolution. The workaround I came up with, until I have some time to troubleshoot it, was to go into SystemSettings/Display, disable the RH monitor and then re-enable it. This process is more painful than it sounds, because clicking on Plasma desktop GUI menus does not update the screen. I have to drop into a console and back to Alt+F7 before I can see the output of whatever I had clicked on. Interestingly, Plasma-Wayland worked fine, both monitors came up with the correct resolution.
[2] Last week's update broke both xorg and wayland. Plasma crashes when launched and partially recovers. I glanced at the errors and it seems to be related to some Qt library. Again, I haven't troubleshooted it further.
Not sure if this helps, but would be interested to try in whatever fix you may come up with.
