Bug#644838: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: X lockup, DRM reports "fail ttm_validate" and DMA_W_PROTECTION fault
Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1+b2
Followup-For: Bug #644838
Dear Maintainer,
FYI, since this bug is a showstopper here (despite somebody
having downgraded the severity of this bug report?) I am sorry
to report that we were obliged to abandon nouveau and go back
to using the proprietary NVIDIA driver. Before abandoning
nouveau we upgraded to the 3.1 kernel and made sure we had the
most recent driver code, but no joy. Although we would prefer
to be using the FOSS nouveau driver, using the NVIDIA driver
has completely cured the system; we are seeing no problems
whatsoever, nothing in the logs, no flaky behavior.
