https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #46 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> --- Well, given that it doesn't work on the blob makes it sound like you have some sort of funkiness in your hardware. One unsubstantiated theory is that the vdec clock is *disabled*, and pcrypt is hooked up to that clock. Or perhaps that clock is somehow broken. It'd be

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #49 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- OK, tired with RHEL 6.5 kernel 2.6.32.431 and the two options: Command line: ro root=UUID=034d34cd-a464-4ee3-8db9-d6061a318a16 rd_NO_LUKS LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=de-latin1-nodeadkeys rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_DM nouveau.perflvl_wr=7777

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #51 from Ilia Mirkin <imirkin at alum.mit.edu> --- So actually I'm told that pcrypt is on the main clock, so that theory is out. Can you grab envytools (https://github.com/envytools/envytools) and run nvapeek 10200c nvapoke 10200c 10 nvapeek 10200c and see what's in dmesg?Do you see additional MMIO read/write failures,

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 #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

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #45 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- Hmm... 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 #28 from Andreas Loew <awl1 at gmx.net> --- This gets really interesting now: Oracle public yum "playground" 3.6.11-3.6.y.20121225.ol6 (should be stock kernel 3.6.11) does NOT show any hangs, but DOES INDEED ALREADY show the graphics corruption issue FOR ME (although it was thought by the original posters here that it

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
