> Or you may want to upgrade to the latest kernel in experimental first. This was easier, so I tried this. Some "progress": instead of crashing X, it now crashes the GPU: [drm] nouveau 0000:05:00.0: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon and makes the machine completely unusable: open ssh connections freeze, new sessions cannot be opened (it will connect to the port, but will freeze before authentication begins, during host authentication I think), virtual consoles cannot be changed etc. The only things which work are: mpd keeps playing music intermittently (every time I press a key, I hear a very short bit of music), tcp connections are accepted, ICMP ECHO is replied to and magic SysRq key combinations work (so I can sync && umount && reboot). Note that this is 2.6.38rc7, which was the newest a short while ago. It just took me this long to figure out why the machine occassionally freezes. Well, it does not really freeze, but you get the point. I installed 2.6.38-2-amd64 now and will see what happens with it before building the experimental libgl1. I noticed there is a newer X, too: any point in checking if installing that helps? Oh, and one more point: this lockup seems to happen much less frequently if I do not run opengl apps full-screen but in a window (which might be full-screen size, though).
