Package: xserver-xorg-video-nv
Version: 1:1.0.1.5-2
Severity: important


Hello. 

My X hangs sometimes when scrolling aterm and programs listbox.

I made a previouse bugreport (soon two years ago):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=277309
Go and look at that report for full story. 
I did some folwups, but have more to tell now.

(What I have done since then, was holding back the update, with /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: xserver-xfree86
Pin: release v=6.8.2.dfsg.1-10
Pin-Priority: 1001

BUT now when the names, and dependencies have changed.. It's getting
harder to hold it back. )

The bug isn't active when "NoAccel" are set.
And I find that "ShadowFB" set, also fix the problem.
(But these two fixes have it's own problems.. As, my tv-card doesn't
work with "ShadowFB", and mouse scrolling looks terible with "NoAccel".)

And.. I have done some compiling of this package, and believe the problem
isn't in this package, ehe! Here is the loong story: I reversed all the
changes done on the nv.o/nv.so source files, in this package, so it match the last recorded stable version (6.8.. in then xfree86, there wasn't that many changes). 
But the driver I produced have the same problem. So.. the bug must be
traced to some of the includes headers things, of whatever dependens I
can't dig that deep.

Any ideer what?

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it was tagged "wontfix" for some
years, without answer. If you have new reasons to point out this
problem, please feel free to re-open it.

Please note also it's marked wontfix upstream because "xf86-video-nv has
been officially unmaintained for a bit now".
