Description lindeb 2005-12-19 18:11:27 UTC
By default setting for nvidia drv, Accel on, keyboard, usb-mouse, xserver, and
desktop always freeze after 3-30minutes for doing input jobs, e.g. typing
something in web browser, scrolling webpages, typing something in gnome-terminal
vi(not xvim) etc.

But the system can shutdown by push the botton on frontend of chassis, after
xorg freeze.

When I turn Accel off, by option "Accel" "No", this never happens; but the
browse of webpage is dog slow for pageup/pagedown, it is unacceptable for
browsing webpage. 

version: xorg-x11-drv-nv-1.0.1.2-1-i386.rpm (FC5-devel)
vedio: riva tnt2 ultra

reproducing: startx --> start a terminal -->run alsamixer -->using
<Left>/<Right> key turn left or right, freezed.

please try the individual "XaaNo..." options (documented in the xorg.conf
manpage) to isolate which XAA path is causing this lockup for you.
Comment 2 lindeb 2005-12-21 21:25:15 UTC
Thanks for assist.

The following option cause the lockup:
Option "XaaNoSolidFillRect"

Can someone from Nvidia comment on this issue?  Since there is a known
workaround, in the worst case, we could disable the faulty accel primitive
in the driver source for this chip, but it would be best to have someone
from Nvidia diagnose this and/or provide a real fix if possible.

TIA

Marking broken (status null/blank) bugs in xorg with no activity in a long time as fixed. Please reopen if you think it's necessary, but first do a search if a similar bug report is already filed and in a NEW/ASSIGNED state. These bugs do not currently show in most search results as they do not have any status.
