Bug 159133 – xorg 7.1 freeze w/ nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776

• Status: VERIFIED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description active 2006-12-26 06:07:25 UTC]

With xorg 7.1 (xorg-server 1.1.1-r1) and nvidia drivers 1.0.8776 window managers freeze. Keyboard and mouse don't respond anymore.
Solution: turn off the box.
This is a fresh install, not an upgrade.
Platform: notebook with AMD64 cpu.
This seems not to happen with the 'nv' driver.
(Following there are attaches from Xorg.0.log and a snapshoot of the messages log)

var log messages

I think this is a relevant snapshoot of /var/log/messages (just before turning off the pc with the power-button)

Try w/ nvidia-drivers-1.0.9742 (or 1.0.9631 if you have a card that's not supported in the latest version).

The problem seems to be resolved and related to my Nvidia Go5650 and new kernel/nvidia-drivers
After an upgrade to nvidia-drivers-1.0.9631 Xorg didn't start with an error of edge-triggered interrupts. So I had to pass irqpoll to kernel boot parameters and use NVreg_Mobile=3 and NVreg_RMEEdgeIntrCheck=0 as parameters to the nvidia module (anyway not sure if NVreg_Mobile=3 is necessary but irqpoll it is).

OK, thanks for reporting back :)
