With cvs from today (12/07/2008), renouveau runs forever. The card is a 8600GS (pci id : 01:00.0 0300: 10de:0425 (rev a1)). NVidia driver is 173.14.09. The kernel is 2.6.24.5, custom configured (config attached). glxgears gives me 5500fps. This is renouveau's output : mkdir: cannot create directory `cards': File exists 9/87 test_draw_buffer No Stereo context. Skipping stereo tests No double buffering. Skipping double buffer tests No multisample buffers. Skipping ARB_multisample test No GL_EXT_vertex_weighting extension. No GL_NV_texgen_emboss extension. GL_NV_vertex_program3 crashes up until driver 100.14.19 on G80 - skipping. 86/87 test_arb_vertex_buffer_object_indexed Then it runs at 100% forever (I mean, really 100%, not 99,99999% ; I have a Core2Duo).
I have exactly the same report to do, after trying today July 20th with a 8400M GS and a fresh checkout of nouveau. Additionnaly I had to force the fifo mapping (I used "1"). Renouveau reported not finding any channel. It's kernel 2.6.24-19-generic from Ubuntu with Nvidia drivers nvidia-glx-new 169.12.
Renouveau is not useful anymore. Closing as RESOLVED WONTFIX.
