Nouveau - May 2011 - [Bug 37000] New: Exceeding render target size in xorg.conf breaks everything

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37000

           Summary: Exceeding render target size in xorg.conf breaks
                    everything
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: tomi.pievilainen+freedesktop at iki.fi
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


If settings in xorg.conf exceed the maximum render target size (4096x4096
here), the system ends up in a state where X can only be activated again after
a reboot. Would be better to notice this and just bailout with an error
message.

When trying to exceed the size with xrandr (for example when rotating a
monitor), another monitor is disabled. Rotating back won't re-enable the
blank
monitor, but rebooting X will help.

--- Comment #1 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> ---
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
