Bug#756583: nouveau GPU lockups
I have an old HP Pavilion dv6215ea with an nVidia GeForce Go 7400, and
the same GPU lockup occurs:
- with Debian "Jessie" testing 2014-09-29: immediately after entering X;
- with Wheezy 7.6, ONLY with a custom kernel (3.12, 3.14, 3.16; a custom
3.2.63 works fine) and always after having hit OK at the Gnome 3 login.
(desktop wallpaper still remains painted, and touchpad works; but it's
hard and/or slow to stop with "gdm3 stop").
Also, Ubuntu 14.04 does not suffer from this bug and it seems to run by
default with nouveau driver.
