https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #34 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Bad news once again... I applied the following single-line patch to a stock 3.12.4 kernel in order to switch to the NV50 fence: diff -Nrpu linux-3.12.4.orig/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c linux-3.12.4/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_drm.c ---

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #32 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Many thanks for your quick reply - even on a Sunday! :-) Regarding: "You really need to figure out how to do things inside the git tree and not do some sort of crazy export. That will speed things up by an order of magnitude." the main issue is that I need to build a

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #40 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Hello again, I need your help on how to proceed: Using the bisection approach, I have now largely reduced the candidate commits that might have introduced the issue: 4c193d254ee94da02857b9670e815b1765a9579b shows the issue, while c420b2dc8dc3cdd507214f4df5c5f96f08812cbe does not, so

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #37 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Hello again, Ilia, ok, I see - did some further reading and I think I now fully understand the way it works: This also means that you are NOT regularly pulling the updates from Linus' central git into the nouveau git, but typically only do this ONCE after Linus released a new

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #29 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- OK, finally I have some more encouraging news: It now looks like the issue indeed started much earlier than initially thought, namely already between the 3.4 and 3.5 kernel series!!! Results from my testing with stock kernels obtained from kernel.org (I've never ever before

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #30 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- In addition, one more request to all the other people who raised this issue here and/or have also seen it before myself: Can you confirm that for you, the issue indeed also already started after the 3.4 series like it does for me, i.e. you never tried a 3.5.x or 3.6.x kernels?

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #77 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Sorry that it took me longer to get back here - I needed an additional rpmbuild run due to running out of disk space for my first attempt... But I can give an all clear signal - at least for my machine, AFAIK, everything seems to be fine: Kernel command line: ro

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #43 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Hello again, so it looks like I have now tracked the issue down. The "offending" commit seems to be: 4c193d254ee94da02857b9670e815b1765a9579b (the first commit which showed the issue - I tried for more than half an hour with its direct predecessor

While my card definitely is not at all defective (it works the exact same way it always has), I indeed also have some issues that make it impossible for me to still use the "blob" even on an attic distro like RHEL6: The most recent version of the NVidia proprietary

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #66 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- A Happy New Year to everybody! :-) Just wondering whether you intend to simply close this issue down with the workaround "solution" for me to set kernel option nouveau.config=PCRYPT=0 or whether you are still interested in finding out *why* my Quadro NVS 130M and other

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #21 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> --- (a) Can we see a full boot log (e.g. output of dmesg) with a recent kernel? Ideally it would include the time that the visual issues happen. (b) This looks like it could be a fencing issue, i.e. we try to draw to a texture, but then instead of waiting, we don't wait. There

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #22 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Hello Ilia, regarding (a) and (b): I am just waiting for a rpmbuild of an OL6 version of 3.13-rc3 to finish and will report back on my findings and include a dmesg output from that version. Regarding (c): Would'nt it make more sense than starting with 3.6 release and 3.7 release
