Forgot to add, the card in question is a NVS3100: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 688693 *** |
Created attachment 487973 [details] Xorg.0.log for the X session that crashed Description of problem: I've been encountering X crashes associated with Nouveau's 2D acceleration and read in a bug report that the workaround was to add "nouveau.noaccel=1" to the kernel bootargs. I did so, and the full freezes of X stopped happening. Unfortunaely a new problem cropped up: every once in a while, X restarts and takes me back to GDM as if I had hit ctrl+alt+backspace. The only output I can find is in Xorg.0.log.old after I log in again: Fatal server error: [ 5793.654] Wrong event type 0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.16-24.20110324git8378443.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: I can't tie it to anything I'm doing specifically, it just happens every now and again. Once when I ran "make" on a project, once when I tried to highlight text in Firefox. Heck, it happened as I was typing this bug report (thank $DEITY for Firefox's crash session recovery) All I had open was Firefox and a gnome-terminal to run rpm -q in. Actual results: Lots of X restarts Expected results: No X restarts
