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).
Cheers,
Juha
