Hello,
this is my first Xorg/Nouveau bug-report ever so I'll try to explain as good
as I can ;)
After several years of using the NVIDIA binary driver, I once again tried the
latest nouveau driver for my Onboard Geforce 8100 card.
Several month ago I couldn' t even get to the kdm screen. But to my surprise
everything I needed worked perfectly. Even KWin compositing. Amazing.
Although after doing some work the xserver freezes in an endless loop.
When I leave the pc alone, it survives a whole night without freezing. Most of
the time it occures while opening a context menu, or a new gui program .
I'm running Ubuntu Maverick with the latest Xorg-Edgers repository
2.6.35-11-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Sat Jul 24 21:37:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

like in the X.Org Wiki I installed the debug packages, attached gdb to the
process and made it freeze again. Xorg is at 100% CPU load, I break the process
inside gdb using strg+c.

It seems to be looping inside NV50EXAPrepareComposite (?)
Do you need any more data to this issue?
Thanks a lot for all your work!
