Xorg log (2.6.39)

Hi,

xserver crash just after gdm3 login, during gnome2 loading.

Symptoms :
* during window manager loading (gnome2)
* no reaction on keypress or mouse click
* mouse pointer still moves
* could not change to another tty with ctrl-alt-F[1-6]

Logs :
* I attach a xorg-log.
* I attach 3 backtraces I did with gdb. (bt n°1 'gdb.backtrace.1' seem to be
interesting)

I use a kernel 2.6.39-2 and I get the same result with a kernel 3.0.0rc5.

For the moment, I use the work around 'nouveau.noaccel=1' and it seem to
be ok. But without this work around my system is unusable.

Debian bug report is here : 
* http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=632247

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
Thomas PIERSON

I decided to help out here. I have exactly the same video card as you (NVIDIA Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1)).

I've installed latest kernel 3.3.0-rc5, newest nouveau kernel module and also nouveau drivers and mesa from git.

After that I'm able to log in without problems into GNOME session. The version of my GDM is GDM 3.2.1.1.

I can redo tests if you want.

Otherwise, shouldn't be that considered "fixed upstream"?

P.S. I'm new here, so do not trust me that much.
