Bug 395547 – x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.2-r2 hangs intermittently with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-290*

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

From time to time, X hangs - all I can do is move the mouse.  From another machine, I ssh in, connect to that process with gdb, and get this:

It seems pretty consistent that it's inside xf86SetCursor.  This happens once or twice a day.  I've tried both the 290.* versions of nvidia-drivers available, it doesn't seem to make much difference.

KDE 4.7.90, Qt 4.7.4

Use nvidia-bug-report.sh and send the results to [e-mail] and post the log here as well. Reference this ticket in your e-mail to nvidia.

output from nvidia-bug-report.sh

Thanks, I've sent the email with the file attached.  Adding it here, too, as per request.

Please retest with the latest X and latest nvidia-drivers.

[Comment 4 Tanktalus 2012-07-15 03:19:01 UTC]

I'm now running nvidia-drivers 302.17 + xorg-server 1.12.2, and am no longer getting this issue.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Good to hear.
