Good news. I finally had time to figure out how to compile xorg myself.
By checking the variable as described in the patch above, the crashes
went away.
if (!kbd) {
xf86MsgVerb(X_WARNING, 0, "XkbHandleBell: Warning: kbd was NULL\n");
return;
}
if (!kbd->key) {
xf86MsgVerb(X_WARNING, 0, "XkbHandleBell: Warning: kbd->key was NULL\n");
return;
}
For every
* pressing of the 'Del' key without a char to delete after the cursor
* or pressing the 'backspace' key without a char to delete before the cursor,
the second message is added.
Of course I dont know if this silently corrupts the memory somewhere
else.
