xrestop just says unknown:

error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 67186
error 3 request 2 minor 0 serial 67199
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 67200
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 68205
error 3 request 15 minor 0 serial 68206
error 3 request 2 minor 0 serial 68207
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 68208
error 3 request 2 minor 0 serial 68221
error 3 request 20 minor 0 serial 68222
