Description Vladimir Benes 2011-03-14 15:20:06 UTC
Description of problem:
I can see Lenovo T410 X server lock ups (again) we fine tuned it in 6.0 but now it's there again and it's very occasional. Waiting for better backtrace than I have now. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-9.20110107gitb795ca6.el6.i686
kernel-2.6.32-119.el6.i686

How reproducible:
occasionally

Steps to Reproduce:
1.use firefox/evince/thunderbird maybe some flash

Actual results:
sometimes X server freezes

Expected results:
no freezes due to X server... NEVER!

unusable backtrace ..

pasting it here just in case you can see anything in it.. waiting for another lockup with debuginfos installed

Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2011-03-15 00:55:11 UTC
Yes, this is due to another lost patch during the rebase.  Upstream does not disable acceleration for these chipsets even though there is the know random-hang on them.

Comment 11 Vladimir Benes 2011-04-11 15:21:21 UTC
I am seeing huge performance regression after resume from suspend. Can we track it here or should I open separate bug report?

I'd open a separate report.

I do believe this is probably what you're experiencing: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=158091&highlight=3100m

I have no clue why people are blaming the video driver, but, anyways...

Comment 13 Vladimir Benes 2011-04-12 08:08:36 UTC
ok I've filed separate bug, for details see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695612

I can see no lockups now, we can close this one
-> VERIFIED
