output of dmesg| grep nouveau

The nouveau driver crashes somwhere while doing EXA stuff ( I can reproduce it by opening the noscript menu in firefox or using thunderbird for some time..)
gdb gave me this output:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Is it still the case on recent version of xf86-video-nouveau?
Comment 3 Ildar Muyukov 2013-07-17 06:08:42 UTC
Yes, it is.

Comment 4 Ilia Mirkin 2013-08-19 22:52:17 UTC
The altlinux bug is completely unrelated. That one happens when the GPU has locked up, EXA doesn't handle that quite as gracefully as it might and so X crashes. This was a much more, uh, "legitimate" crash, and not provoked by a heavily-using GL app. As we haven't heard from the original reporter in almost 4 years, closing this as invalid (since "fixed" is a bit too strong).
