Snippet of the main KDM.log

Hi to all,
         For the past week or so,I've been experiencing a major problem with
my
graphics card with the nouveau driver from both the git repository and the
packaged version from Fedora.The version of Fedora I'm using is
Rawhide(Fc15)with all the latest updates installed for it. I currently compile
DRM,linux-2.6,Mesa and the xf86-video-nouveau source code from the git
repositories.They all get git pulled regularly.

The problem I'm experiencing is this. I boot into the latest kernel,I give
out
the temporary workaround of init=/sbin/upstart.

I see the fedora logo building up with a lot black blocks(I see them both with
my NV11 and my NV40).

But when I get to the KDM login screen,all I see are blue,black,red,and white
horizontal lines across my screen,and X is locked up,I have to do a hard reset.

I've tried both vesa and nv in the driver section in my xorg.conf,and they
work
fine,I can get to the desktop (although,I have to do a rmmod -f the nouveau.ko
module for the nv driver to work.

I have been using my Geforce MX400 (NV11)with the nouveau driver with no
problems,I get to KDM normally with that Graphics Card.

I have attached my dmesg,Xorg.0.log and a snippet of my kdm.log.
I very much hope somebody can help me with this one.it is driving me nuts!

Regards,
       STEVE555

To make it clear,I'm having problems with my Nvidia Geforce 6,800 GT (NV40)
not my spare Geforce MX400 (NV11).

Does it work OK with acceleration disabled? (e.g. boot with
"nouveau.noaccel=1"
in your kernel command line)

Hi there Francisco,
                  I haven't tried that option in my kernel parameters,but I
will give it a try,and report back if it doesn't.

       STEVE555

Dear Francisco,
              I've just tried out your solution to my problem and it works!
I'd like to thank you very much indeed.I hope they'll be a patch soon so
I
won't have to type in nouveau.noaccel=1 all the time.

Regards,
       STEVE555

This is a regression, right? Do you remember when it stopped to work? You could
try "git bisect" to find the commit that introduced the problem.

Hi Francisco,
            I'm sorry for the late reply,I had discussed my issue on the
nouveau irc channel.I did do a git bisect on the linix-2.6 kernel module branch
with not much success.I simply can't remember when the code broke for
me,although it was around the start of 30-08-2010.

I think a different approach to solve the problem could be better.Since the
kernel option of nouveau.noaccel=1,I can boot fine into the desktop  with no
problems.

If I now leave out the parameter,I can get as far as the desktop,but the X
server will freeze as soon as it does.

I will upload my latest dmesg and Xorg.0.log whenb that problem occurs.

Regards,
        STEVE555

Well, your kernel logs aren't very useful, because they end before the
crash,
they don't even have a trace of the X server starting up. Your best bet is
still 'git-bisect', e.g. if you start bisecting from the 15 Aug it
shouldn't
take you than 12 steps to get to the culprit.

Dear Francisco,
              Here is an update to to my efforts.
I tried to a git bisect on the nouveau kernel modules,but I seemed to messed up
my Fedora installation,so I did a fresh install of a nightly build of Fedora
14,and did a yum upgrade to Fedora 15.

I tried to install the kernel-modules with the latest Fedora 14 kernel at the
time,(kernel.i686 0:2.6.35.4-12.fc14),but the build kept running into an error
when trying to build with it.

So when I used the latest Fedora 15 kernel(2.6.36-0.28.rc6.git0.fc15.i686),I
found I couldn't even boot with that kernel.So I used the parameters:
enforcing=0 nouveau.noaccel=1 and I could boot into the desktop.

So what I'm trying to say is I'm not so sure now if the kernel-module
code is
at fault,as I haven't built the latest kernel-module code with the latest
kernel for Fedora 15 yet.

Regards,
       STEVE555

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
