snow with motion

When nothing is moving on the screen, the nouveau driver displays things just
fine. When there is motion on the screen, I see some "snow" (see the
attached
picture). When the motion stops, the snow disappears. The amount of snow
appears proportional to how much of the screen is changing. The "nv"
driver
doesn't have this issue, nor did the proprietary nvidia driver (71.86.07),
when
it still supported recent versions of X. I get the same results using a
different CRT.

Although the problem is most obvious in X, it appears on the framebuffer
console as well: if I boot with init=/bin/sh, so that X never loads,
"modprobe
nouveau", and ls -R a big directory, I see the same snow on the console.

I tested with yesterday's git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6 .

My card is a Geforce 2 GTS (NV15).

I'll attach dmesg output and Xorg logs.

Oh, perhaps I should mention that the white spots/dashes are the
"snow", which
changes as I move a window around. The larger white region is part of a firefox
window that I was moving.

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
