I applied that patch to Ubuntu Trusty 3.13.0-38.65, and it gives a huge improvement. X no longer crashes on startup, and 3D acceleration works.
However I also get the glitchy noise a few times a second, except when showing a static image. It is all over the screen, and sometimes appears as triangles. Running glxgears and Firefox at the same time also starts giving errors in the kernel log pretty quickly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1217585 Title: System hangs after some time with nouveau and GT240 Status in Accelerated Xorg driver for nVidia cards: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: With the Nouveau driver I get random system hangs in the Live CD - any version since it was switched to nouveau up until today's daily images.
