Since its raining outside, and I can ususally reproduce this error in few minutes, I'll give it a go!
X server segfault when using BT keyboard

One message during the ipk install:
xserver-org: unsatisfied recommendation for xserver-security-policy
Rebooted, check version no, 1.7.7 installed OK.
After 10 minutes of sustained typing of gibberish, I HAVE NOT had a freeze. Normally, I would get a freeze after just 3 minutes of sustained typing. I certainly never got to this time length before.
My keyboard is BT3.0, and I tested under SZ 1.54, using OpenBox and mousepad. I'll apply this update to my other OP running SZ 1.60 and report back if it fails. However, this looks like it may well be a runnner. Some other BT keyboard users may like to try and confirm my findings.......
Many thanks to notaz.

I'm sorry‚ notaz‚ but I'm on a business trip right now. So I'm AFK when it comes to BT keyboard

Applied the update to my SZ 1.60 OP and hesy presto, NO server issues.
I'll keep an eye out for any X-Server wierdness, but so far I've only got postive things to say about this update.

Oops! Got a crashed!
Wasn't at home (where my BT-keyboard lies) in the last days and the house here (and the one besides) got a complete power cut yesterday so I had to get all my frozen stuff to my gf and stay there. Will try that after work today.

Just tried another sustained typing test, no issues for me.

Last a little longer this time before losing X. I'm using latest SZ 1.61

Does it appear to be using the BT keyboard that causes the issue? Just curious because I cannot get mine to fall over now.

Yep. Pretty sure it's BT keyboard. I did the same as Klumpen and that killed X.

Well at least it works better if you use it carefully.
FWIW multiple keys cause no issues for me, is there some specific key combo that kills it?

Yeah, this thing is hard to tell. I just smashed the keyboard with all of my ten fingers so can't tell you what combination
But in my post #52, I didn't perform any multiple key smashing. I typed stuff for a while with no issue. I then just left it there without typing anything for a little while and it killed X.
Oh, I used LibreOffice Writer to test.

Rats, just crashed mine.
This combination is guaranteed (on my keyboard) to cause the crash:
<LEFT SHIFT><CTRL><ALT><WIN><ENTER><DELETE>
I can now generate the crash on demand

My BT keypad is weird and doesn't even have alt keys, couldn't crash it by trying similar combos.

Crashed again on my. Didn't use MarkW combo as mine doesn't have ALT key neither. Type a whole bunch of stuff, left it and did nothing for a while, came back and typed some more and the thing crashed.
