The Thinkpad has this feature that you can fold the display all the way back (360°) and write on it using the stylus (let’s call it “tablet mode”): https://www.notebookcheck.com/uploads/tx_nbc2/LenovoThinkPadL13YogaG3__1_.jpg

This works without problems. But when I put the display back up to use the Thinkpad in “laptop mode” again, sometimes X crashes with the following backtrace:

It’s very frustrating, especially if I am working on something which hasn’t been saved for some time, then all my work is gone…

I found some reports of similar crashes, in one case the origin was a “Rotate” option in xorg.conf (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/rotate-option-in-custom-xorg-conf-d-monitor-section-config-crashing-x11-on-startup-4175668937/ not the case for me) or plugging in a USB keyboard (Xorg seg faults when a USB keyboard is connected with '%' character in the product name (#759) · Issues · libinput / libinput · GitLab also not the case for me). So I’m a bit stuck here, any hints are appreciated!

Best,
Photon
