Severity: normal

After switching from nvidia to nouveau everything is fine until 3D
application is used. If so, image freeze, only mouse pointer is
moving. All other activity (sound, networking, disks) is fine. Killing
(-9) X server is only one way to revive system without reboot.

Does this become any better if you disable AIGLX in xorg.conf?  Also, do
you use a compositing window manager?

Nope, thanks, I'll try this. Yes, I ran gnome3 (is it counts as compositing manager?)

Application to get freeze: Eternal Lands client (MMORPG):

Sorry, I'm not going to run random binaries from random websites to try
and reproduce this.
That just a sample. Any graphically intensive application cause that problem.

After that there is constant flood of messages from 'EQ overflow continuing'
They indicate that the GPU is hung.
Means problem are with hardware? But nvidia binary works without problem, so it's not like 'ran game and got snow on screen'.
