Created attachment 347810 [details] Xorg log attached after display corruption Description of problem: Display gets corrupted and full of horizontal lines with rainbow colors after some minutes of using Fedora 11 with nouveau driver Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Installed Packages Name : xorg-x11-drv-nouveau Arch : i586 Epoch : 1 Version : 0.0.12 Release : 36.20090514git9656762.fc11 Size : 350 k Repo : installed Summary : Xorg X11 nouveau video driver for NVIDIA graphics chipsets URL : http://www.x.org License : MIT Description: X.Org X11 nouveau video driver. How reproducible: Happens often Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Fedora 11 (after installation or from live cd (i686 or x86-64)) on a system having nvidia card so that it will use nouveau driver 2. Keep using the system for some time (say 10 mins or more), browse firefox, use terminal and so on 3. After some time, the entire screen looks like horizontal lines of rainbow colors and the screen is unreadable. 4. But Fedora still works and can be connected through telnet or ssh Actual results: Display/Screen gets corrupted and full of artifacts and we cant proceed with Fedora without restarting Expected results: No display corruption after using Fedora 11 over a period of time (say some minutes or hours of use) Additional info: Nvidia card: MSI 9800 GT 1 GB saved log /var/log/Xorg.0.log is attached
Display corruption does not occur after disabling PCIe L0 and L1 ASPM (Active State Power Management) states in bios. Board is Intel Desktop Board DX58SO Now nouveau working like a charm
After disabling active state power management in bios, display corruption did not occur for more time, but it occurs at some point of time. To easily simulate the display corruption run futuremark browser benchmark from firefox (http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/run.action) Display corruption does not happen when nouveau.modeset=1 is passed as kernel boot param! even after running the futuremark browser benchmark and the graphics card is stressed
Can we get Xorg.0.log from the nouveau.modeset=1 case? Thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Created attachment 370293 [details] dmesg after display corruption Display corruption still happening in Fedora 12, here is the dmesg output
Created attachment 370294 [details] lsmod showing Fedora 12 using nouveau even after trying to boot with vesa
Created attachment 370295 [details] lsmod showing Feodora 12 using nouveau driver
Created attachment 370296 [details] Photo of corrupted screen taken using digicam I took the photo of the corrupted screen using digicam as nothing worked after the corruption. Even the logs I captured are copied and pasted as file transfer was not working. Sometimes, even before logging into Fedora 12 itself the screen corruption happens. I tried nomodeset, but the display corruption still happens. Once it happens, nothing works except rebooting or existing ssh session. Even in existing ssh session, not able to transfer files
The corruption happens in 64 bit Fedora 12 also. As requested I have attached logs and info as attachments from comment 9 to comment 13, hope this helps
Same problem here (KNMI): It seems to occur mostly in combination with GNOME - nouveau... Using an second screen (DVI) with the noveau driver also infects the performance ;((

I've suffered from this problem in F12, thought it would be fixed in F13, but it it not :-( It is quite annoying to constantly have corrupted display. For me it happens very very often. I'll attach 2 pictures to demonstrate the corruptions.

Fedora 13 display corruption while booting. It worked for some time. After 5 or 6 boots this display corruption problem occurred. The same happened in Fedora 11. I think still it not got fixed. Any time if we change some BIOS update or even saving the BIOS with different settings this problem happens. Once it happens, nothing works except rebooting.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
