Using the nouveau-driver in gentoo-sources-2.6.39.x celestia-1.6.0 locks the system once space crafts come into view. I tried the nouveau-drm-20110526 ebuild, but that did not work. Using the kernel source from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git I bisected the problem to commit 7948758d27be1b69b6a79ed4f3f22e36a3b95965 . Moving to the previous commit fixed the problem. Reverting the commit from the (then) current tip failed with conflicts. Apart from the test with the drm-module userspace was ket the same across tests, Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with linux-2.6.39.x 2. Start celestia 3. Get Hubble into view (Right click Earth -> Satellites -> Spacecraft -> Hubble - "g") Actual Results: Instead of the craft there is a light dot. Shortly after this the system locks up hard to the extend my HW-watchdog reboots the system. Expected Results: A nice detailed pic. of the Hubble should be shown.

This might be a quick way to provoke bug 353059.
If you can still reproduce the problem with the latest nouveau code, best report upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org too.
As indicated in comment #3, please report upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org if this is still an issue.
