Description of problem: With the latest versions of the Fedora 18 kernel and xorg-x11-drv-nouveau driver, I'm repeatedly experiencing system crashes on my Dell Optiplex 980 x86-64 system with an OEM '1 GB GeForce GT 330' video card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-nouveau: xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-1.0.3-1.fc18.x86_64 kernel: kernel-3.7.2-201.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Log in to Fedora 18 with Gnome Shell using the Gallium 0.4 on NVA3 Standard Experience, wait for system to freeze up. I have experienced this three times now with the above versions installed. I haven't had any other versions installed long enough since installing Fedora 18 that I can say whether or not other versions have had the same behavior. Additional info: After powering down the crashed system and restarting, I see things like this in /var/log/messages: Jan 18 14:29:50 csdpc20 kernel: [ 4253.500446] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] PGRAPH TLB flush idle timeout fail: 0x01b00003 0x00000000 0x00001068 0x00200000 Jan 18 14:29:50 csdpc20 kernel: [ 4255.497003] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] vm flush timeout: engine 0 Jan 18 14:29:57 csdpc20 kernel: [ 4260.489514] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] PGRAPH TLB flush idle timeout fail: 0x01b00003 0x00000000 0x00001068 0x00200000 Jan 18 14:29:57 csdpc20 kernel: [ 4262.486066] nouveau E[ PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] vm flush timeout: engine 0 In addition, I'm seeing some corruption of rendering in the gnome shell application shelf and the system menus. Some images are missing, and font rendering in the system menu appears to be misshapen or having problems with alpha channel.

It appears I misspoke about having three crashes. It appears that it has only happened twice, both times today.
Okay, now I've had three crashes. The most recent came when I hit the left Windows key to shrink the windows into the Gnome Shell overview mode. It crashed when I did that, leaving no logging in /var/log/messages concerning nouveau. FWIW.
It seems that I have the same problem on NVidia 9500M GS. It appears when waking up from suspend: ...

I am seeing the same issue with a GeForce GT640
I had the same problem. I switched from Gnomne to OpenBox, and now everything seems to work fine.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
