Hi there I have installed following software: - nouveau DDX driver - from git; - libdrm - from git; - linux kernel 2.6.38-rc1; - xorg - 1.9.2 from debian instalation And with all this stuff X hangs after some time. I can't realise what is the cause of these hangs but it happened two times after starting KDevelop 4.0.2. There is nothing special/extraordinary in dmesg. Actually hangs only X and graphic subsystem. I can reboot the system with SysRq magic button :) (any other key combinations don't work) and also I can ssh to my box from other one. You can find stack trace with which X fails in attached Xorg.log
Created attachment 42236 [details] dmesg is here
Created attachment 42237 [details] xorg log
And one more with linux kernel 2.6.37 this combination of software works OK
It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report. In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one. Thanks, The Nouveau Team

This obviously means the selection is also hidden so making some operations difficult. It may be the nvidia hardware version which has the problem. The graphics card is an old PCI one, which I'm using dual screen. I can reproduce it at will, but an unsure what would help you.

These two cards have nearly no logic in common. Please file a fresh bug, otherwise it just confuses the issue.
