In other words, the GPU is hung. > Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Please upgrade to 2.6.39 (note that the -686 flavor is gone; if you see "pae" among the flags in /proc/cpuinfo, you can use the -686-pae flavor, else use the -486 kernel). If the problem persists, file a bug upstream at freedesktop.org, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs for instructions. Disabling acceleration, e.g. by booting with nouveau.noaccel=1 kernel parameter, should work around the hangs at the cost of lousy performance.
