Created attachment 336769 [details] dmesg Description of problem: After logging in to X, and starting an application (firefox, terminal), or sometimes even at the login screen everything on the desktop freezes (even the mouse cursor animation). I can still move the mouse, but nothing responds, and switching terminals with ctrl+f1, or killing X with ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work either. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing, after being logged in to X for a short while it freezes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I used this LiveCD (booted from a USB disk): http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/live/livecd-fedora-testday-nouveau-20090325-x86_64.iso How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora LiveCD 2. Login to X 3. start an application (firefox, terminal). After about 2 minutes X freezes. Actual results: X freezes, unusable, killable only via kill -9 Expected results: X usable, applications working Additional info: Since X was unusable, before logging in I switched to a VT, opened a ssh tunnel to my laptop. Now I was able to kill X when it freezed (via kill -9). The desktop's image was still there though, even after I executed (chvt 5). So I blindly logged in as liveuser, and typed startx. Few minutes after using X it froze again. I was watching dmesg and I noticed that right after freezing I get this message: [drm] PFIFO_DMA_PUSHER - Ch 1 I also noticed this message (earlier): [drm] Allocating FIFO number 0 DMA-API: debugging out of memory - disabling [drm] nouveau_fifo_alloc: initialised FIFO 0

Can you update to libdrm-2.4.6-6.fc11 and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-29.20090417gitfa2f111.fc11 and retry? Thanks.

I can login, run firefox, play video, etc. without freezing/crashing. Nice job! You can close this bug. The only problem I encountered is that totem playback fullscreen toggling causes slowdowns: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496213 Note that using the versions on the Fedora 11 snapshot1 LiveCD, the display freezes even before the login dialog is shown.
