[Problem]
[GTX 580] X seems to hang a login prompt -- PFIFO errors in dmesg

[Original Description]
Machine boots to and displays the lightdm login banner, as soon as the cursor flashes in the password box output stops.  The mouse pointer is still movable but nothing else works.

This was successfully running nouveau on an earlier version of ubuntu.  The fault occurred after upgrade to precise.

Comment 5 Emil Velikov 2012-02-07 11:46:12 UTC

Hello Bryce

Here are some tips that will help triage the issue

* Is the person using "3d" - try reproducing the issue without it
Disable AIGLX in the X server
(Re)move the file (or package providing it) "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_dri.so"

* Try booting with "nouveau.nofbaccel=0"

* Amend the previous option to read "nouveau.noaccel=0"


Although before attempting any of the above I would recommend trying the git master branch (or as close as) of the following

* [1] xf86-video-nouveau
* [2] kernel
* [3] mesa

Note that those tips can be used for any case/issue

Cheers
Emil
