[Solved] Freeze on razer additional keys press

Hi,

I'm running xfce 4.14 under archlinux 5.3.13-arch1-1.
I have Razer BlackWidow Chroma V2 keyboard.

This keyboard has additional keys M1-M5. When I press any of it, xfce freezes.
It seems to me like an out of range exception, but I can't find any useful information in logs.

I installed openrazer/razergenie and blackwidowcontrol, but it doesn't help:
- seems that openrazer and razergenie doesn't work with additional keys
- blackwidowcontrol can't find my keyboard

Is it possible to save xfce from dying on the keys enter?

That's what I finally catch:

I fixed it by uninstalling all video drivers and installing 'nvidia' package. (I have GeForce GTX 660)
Seems weird but ok.

Thanks for sharing the solve. It is odd though that the video drivers would affect the keyboard.
