Summary: neither nv nor nouveau driver stable for me
Classification: openSUSE
Product: openSUSE 11.3
Version: Final
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: X.Org
AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After upgrading to openSUSE 11.3, I ran into a *lot* of stability problems with
X.
reboot system boot 2.6.34-12-deskto Thu Jul 22 13:48 - 14:12 (00:24)
reboot system boot 2.6.34-12-deskto Thu Jul 22 13:44 - 13:46 (00:01)
reboot system boot 2.6.34-12-deskto Tue Jul 20 13:43 - 13:46 (2+00:03)
reboot system boot 2.6.34-12-deskto Tue Jul 20 12:53 - 13:46 (2+00:52)
reboot system boot 2.6.34-12-deskto Mon Jul 19 13:36 - 13:46 (3+00:10)
With openSUSE 11.2 I would get uptimes measured in weeks or even more than a
month.
When booting natively, I get the nouveau driver, which "works", more or less,
but seems very unstable.
The stock nouveau driver works for me, insofar as "works" means "I get between
10 minutes and a day of use" before the machine locks up hard.
I think it actually has to do with the system attempting to suspend for some
reason (if I walk away from the computer I frequently come back to a frozen
machine, even if I'm gone only a few minutes).
Sigh.
If I boot with nouveau.nomodeset=1, the system tries to use the NV driver, and
fails miserably:
I get a completely black screen, no X, no caps-lock, nothing.
/var/log/messages (upon reboot it can be inspected) contains:
Jul 22 13:46:08 worklaptop kdm[2201]: X server startup timeout, terminating
However, if I wait long enough, the power button will *try* to reboot the
machine, which ultimately fails (the machine never reboots).
The *failed* Xorg.0.log ends with this:
[ 50.773] (II) Module "ramdac" already built-in
[ 50.773] (II) UnloadModule: "fbdev"
[ 50.774] (II) Unloading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fbdev_drv.so

[ 50.945] (II) NV(0): RandR 1.2 enabled, ignore the following RandR disabled
message.
[ 50.945] (==) NV(0): DPMS enabled
I can supply the whole thing if it's useful.
If I completely remove the nouveau driver, sometimes I can get the NV driver to
work.
