With both x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3 and x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.2 on amd64 I have had random crashes. The most recent time I was playing starcraft in wine and when I exited it crashed. I can't manually reproduce it (by starting and stopping starcraft, or using xrandr to switch resolutions, etc), so there may be some temporal aspect. Attached are complete xorg log files from two crashes one with 1.6.2 and one from 1.6.3). The backtraces are unlikely anything I could find and very similar to each other. I am using x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.60. Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: 1. Play starcraft in wine 2. Exit 3. Rarely crash Actual Results: No crash.

Created attachment 200530 [details] log from xorg-server-1.6.2

I'm not ruling out an Xserver bug, but the empty entries in the backtrace really look like function calls into the nvidia driver. @nvidia guys, what say you? Thanks
Created attachment 200931 [details] xorg-log similar backtrace here when exiting starcraft broodwar on wine. X crashes.
try reemerge wine (after the xorg update). perhaps it helped here. at least when i start the game, begin a mission and exit the game, it works now (no crash).
i have the same problem while playing games in wine (crashed after Neverwinter Nights or Outlaws). It started after upgrading to xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 from 1.5.3 and happens with several different nvidia-drivers (180.*, 185.*, 190.*). Crashes stopped when I added to xorg.conf: Option "sw_cursor" "true" (It creates ugly artefacts while playing games, so it's not a feasible solution)

Unfortunately this bug has gotten a bit stale due to slipping between the cracks, please retest with the latest X, latest wine and latest nvidia-drivers and all should be well.
