------- Comment #21 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2007-05-19 17:53 PST -------
additional data point comment 14 is the result of running glxgears after having
run glxgears with the nvidia driver (see dmesg output in comment 16), then;
shutting down X, apt-get remove nvidia-glx, insmod drm.ko debug=1, insmod
nouveau.ko, startx, exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH and
re-running glxgears.

If I reboot the machine, but not halt/power off (tested through 3 cycles), then
the behaviour is repeatable (i.e running gears does not crash X, but no gears
are drawn).

If I halt/power off the machine, wait 20s, power back on, then the same
drm/xf86-video-nouveau/mesa combination crashes X.

When X crashes, I get nothing abnormal in syslog, I do get a FIFO dump in
Xorg.log (will attach both)

Does this mean that the nvidia driver (blob) is doing something to initialise
(?) the card that we are not? I think yes, it appears to persist across reboots
but not powering off.

I think darktama suggested something like this on IRC at some stage ...

Can I reproduce this behaviour - yes (all I have to do is reinstall
nvidia-glx-dev and cycle through the steps outlined in this comment), how do I
track down the configuration stuff that nvidia is doing that nouveau is not yet
doing to stop the crash?
