Xorg.0.log

Hi!

I'm using archlinux x86_64 with latest mesa,nouveau from the official repos
and
nouveau-fw from the aur. (Hw: NVE6: GTX 660)
I get random screen freezes every 10 min - 1 hour in a gnome session.
Once the screen freezes the mouse and sometimes the keyboard goes unresponsive
too  .(even the leds for num lock do not respond)
I can switch to another tty (I get nouveau messages here: "cannot idle
channel..."), kill the running gnome session, switch back then restart the
gnome session but the restarted gnome session gets back to the very last image
before the freeze and it is unresponsive. After 10-30 secs that restarted
session crashes and I cannot get X working again without a complete restart.

X log attached.

Can you check if this is the same as bug #72180 ? i.e. do the problems go away
if using blob pgraph fw?

Yeah it seems so. "Jorden Bass" mentioned "Sometimes, shortly
before the
lockup, graphics will become highly corrupted.".
That was my screen yesterday before one of those freezes:

First only the "regular" X clients were weird then the gnome UI got
these black
white rectangles too.
Going to try Jorden's firmware files, thanks.

I couldn't load Jorden's firmware files, output of dmesg | grep nouveau:
http://bit.ly/1kVGpeY

No luck with the files from nouveau-fw either, output of dmesg | grep nouveua:
http://bit.ly/1jAQkDW

They are pretty similar. Do you think extracting the firmware files from
scratch could help?

Appearently the loading failed because of my mkinitcpio config, after adding
all the necesseary files to the image the external firmware loads succesfully.
Testing it now.

Using the blobg pgraph firmware solved my problem, I didn't have a single
lockup since then.
