[Bug 800686] New: graphics corrupted with 3.7 kernel and nouveau driver on nvidia FX5200 hardware
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800686 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=800686#c0 Summary: graphics corrupted with 3.7 kernel and nouveau driver on nvidia FX5200 hardware Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 12.3 Beta 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lee_matheson@hotmail.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=522124) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=522124) dmesg file User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0 The 3.7 kernel nouveau driver provides a corrupted display when booting to a PC with an older nvidia FX5200 graphic card. This was tested with the openSUSE-12.3 32-bit beta1 KDE liveCD. Similar corruption was noted on an openSUSE-12.2 with the Tumbleweed 3.7.2 kernel on an LXDE desktop. The openSUSE-12.2 3.4.6 kernel (with nouveau) works fine on this same PC with both a KDE and an LXDE desktop. With openSUSE-12.3 KDE4 (from liveCD) when (despite the kalidascope desktop appearance) I attempted to open a konsole, KDE4 crashed, sending me to a log on screen. I was able to use <ctrl><alt><F2> to obtain a full screen terminal and I will attach various log messages from that. There are a number of nouveau messages in dmesg prior to KDE crash. I will attach dmesg in attachment. Also, after boot to corrupted KDE desktop (with kaladascope colours), I note in the dmesg these entries around the time of the KDE crash : [ 271.664014] nouveau E[ 1191] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [ 271.668002] [sched_delayed] sched: RT throttling activated [ 275.240021] nouveau E[ 2043] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [ 351.592015] nouveau E[ 2481] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [ 354.800022] nouveau E[ 2703] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to openSUSE-12.3 beta1 KDE liveCD, or upgrade an openSUSE-12.2 Tumbleweed to 3.7 kernel 2. 3. Actual Results: Obtain a kaladscope of colours with mostly unuseable desktop after 'successful' KDE boot. opening a terminal in openSUSE-12.3 beta1 boot caused KDE to crash. I note opening a konsole in openSUSE-12.2 Tumbleweed with 3.7.2 kernel did not crash LXDE (konsole opened) albeit text was badly corrupted (albeit barely readable). Expected Results: Expect clean desktop, similar to superb graphics when using openSUSE-12.2 with 3.6.8 kernel. I took pictures of screen corruption and I will add those in a subsequent entry to this bug report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Is it better with this kernel: http://labs.suse.cz/jslaby/bug-800686/
Yes that 3.7.10-desktop kernel definitely is better. With that kernel installed, when I boot with a 32-bit openSUSE-12.3 GM version (on LXDE desktop) I obtain a proper GUI with the nouveau driver without the corruption reported in this bug report. Resolution of 1680 x 1050 on my PC with the nouveau driver - and no desktop GUI corruption. :) Again, my PC graphics (same as above posts) : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) I saved to my local hard drive dmesg, Xorg.0.log and /var/log/messages from BEFORE and AFTER installing the kernel you noted, and can post them if you wish. I can't see anything of note in them, but then again I likely don't know what to look for. Let me know if you wish them posted here. I am still testing this now functioning nouveau on this 32-bit openSUSE-12.3 GM with the 3.7.10-0-desktop kernel you pointed to (i.e. installing video players etc ... ) to try and assess it better. But thus far I have no reason to believe it does not work. Well done and thank you. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
