Description Bernd Feige 2016-11-15 14:32:26 UTC

On a Dell Latitude D620 laptop, gnome-shell(3.22.2) does not start. Error:
 X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
 Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XInputExtension)
 Minor opcode of failed request:  57 ()

Downgrading to x11-wm/mutter-3.22.1 fixes the problem, as noted here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1669060

It appears that the origin of this bug is still not known. I had guessed that libinput's touchpad support was the culprit, but a minor release of mutter?

We need to apply this patch:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?h=gnome-3-22&id=5c46094d67f2e5cdafe6edcfd8c0d5894a2dafc6

or wait for 3.22.3

So we've had mutter 3.22.3 for a month now, so I'm assuming this is fixed there. Please reopen if this is not the case.
