Xorg.0.log with backtrace
The bug is still actual. https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29193 Am I getting it right that the bug is originated in *buggy exa implementation in nouveau* ? My experience says that with a simple WM (XFCE) nouveau works stable, but e17 which uses tricky graphics makes nouveau crash very quickly, both with compositing on and off. It's not particularly clear (to me) where the bug is. Certainly there appears to be an issue in the xf86-video-nouveau EXA implementation when the card dies, it starts dereferencing NULL-ish pointers. However I think that the card dying is the primary issue... The bug here starts out with [ 6.760320] nouveau E[ DRM] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon before anything really happens, and then X starts, and PGRAPH is variously freaking out. The nouveau GPU reset logic isn't so great... my experience is that oftentimes only a reboot really fixes a GPU lockup. (Sometimes it's fine though.) In the altlinux.org bug there's also a GPU lockup detected, and it's not likely to be due to the fact that X died, but rather the other way around. (Lockups aren't necessarily detected immediately...) That's bad news for me :( as it looks unresolvable with regard of the proprietary position of NVidia. |
