Description Sam Varshavchik 2001-04-15 13:33:54 EDT 
This is the first time I recall getting a hard freeze on this relatively
old, and tested card.

seawolf XFree86-4.0.3-5

In the middle of typing, the display stopped responding.  xclock no longer
updated.  The pointer continued to follow the mouse.  No response to mouse
buttons.  No response to keyboard activity.

No response to CTRL-ALT-F[17], could not switch terminals.

I was able to succesfully ssh to this machine over the network, and
determine that the system was running just fine.  There was no load, the X
process was idling, strace showed X in a middle of a select(), idling.

I as able to easily kill X.  gdm restarted it, and I was able to log back
in, and resume working.  CTRL-ALT-F[17] worked again.

Too lake now, I forgot to check if X was receiving any input.

Asus P2B-DS motherboard, dual PII-400, 256MB RAM, 520MB swap.

Comment 1 Sam Varshavchik 2001-04-15 13:38:10 EDT 
Well, now that I think about it, X *should*'ve been getting constant input, from
xclock.  All I saw was X sitting in a select() call, and not getting anything...
Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2001-04-15 20:11:55 EDT 
Can you reproduce this behaviour at will?  If so, please describe the exact
steps to follow to reproduce this problem, what all software you are running,
GNOME applets, etc.. (or KDE, etc..).

Please create a file attachment of your X server logs as well.  Particularly
one from after a crash.  You will likely need to grab the log from a ssh
session if using gdm, because if you log back into X it will overwrite your
old log with a new one.
Comment 3 Sam Varshavchik 2001-04-15 23:45:55 EDT 
It's not reproducible - it locked up after being up continuously for about ~72
hours.  I have two machines with the same TNT card up and running.  I'll grab
the log if and when I get another lockup.
Comment 4 Sam Varshavchik 2001-04-24 17:45:14 EDT 
It blew up on me again.

I came back to the machine after it was sitting idle for about six hours.  The
display was frozen in a middle of a screen saver, the machine did not respond to
mouse or keyboard activity, nor CTRL-ALT-Fx.

Logging into the box over the network revealed the fact that X wasn't running at
all.  It dumped core on me.  After X crashed on me for the first time a week
ago, I began booting in run level 4, then manually running startx.  So, I
checked, and there was a nice 37 MB core dump sitting in my home directory. 
Loading the core dump into gdb confirmed that it came out of X.

I am attaching the XFree86.0.log file, which I saved.  The timestamp on the
XFree86.0.log file was about 15 minutes before the timestamp on the core dump file.

Here is the core dump: http://www.email-scan.com/core.gz

The gzipped file is about 4 megs, uncompressed it's about 37 megs, and it's
against the server in XFree86-4.0.3-5 package.

Comment 6 Sam Varshavchik 2001-04-28 18:47:44 EDT 
Crashed again.  Here's another core dump:

Comment 7 Mike A. Harris 2001-05-30 18:55:19 EDT 
Please reconfigure your server with DRI disabled - DRI is not supported in
the NV driver.  Xconfigurator --preferxf4 --nodri

Does this solve the problem?
Comment 8 Sam Varshavchik 2001-06-01 18:24:01 EDT 
Nope!  Just had another crash.  I'm seeing this on two machines with the same
TNT 128 card.  It looks like the following traceback indicates heap corruption.
I have the core file, but I doubt that it would contain anything useful.

Comment 12 Mike A. Harris 2001-11-01 06:51:39 EST 
Can you update the report and let me know if this problem is still
present in XFree86 4.1.0 as shipped with Red Hat Linux 7.2?

If it is still present, attach any new information you may have,
and I will send it upstream to Nvidia directly.

Thanks.
Comment 13 Sam Varshavchik 2001-11-01 12:34:09 EST 
I have not yet had 4.1.0 bomb out on me.  So far so good.
