Re: problems with xserver 1.7

[Eric Valette <eric.valette@free.fr>]

I also have experinced problems with nouveau. I have nouveau git driver
and drm git. If I upgrade the server to 1.7, install the necessary tool
and recompile nouveau, when rebooting it start correctly. but as soon as
I launch glxgears, it crash hard.

Starting xbmc gives me a kdm prompt. Looking at the trace, I found an
error in the kernel path for DMA allocation. Same kernel, same driver
(well recompiled but...) so I think there is a problem with corrupted
data passed to kernel for allocating DMA channels.

Reading the git log, it seems something like that has been fixed rc3-> 1.7.0
