https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58378 --- Comment #27 from Andreas Loew --- Hmm - bad news once again: I have now compiled and tested a 3.6.kernel to match the commit immediately before the "mega commit", i.e. the kernel tarball has been produced by the following command: $ git archive --format=tar "ebb945a94bba2ce8dff7b0942ff2b3f2a52a0a69^" | bzip2 > ~/Projekte/nouveau_drm/linux-before-mega.tar.bz2 Unfortunately, I am unable to test whether the screen distortion issue occurs with this kernel, because I get a complete hang (system freezes, CPU and GPU fans running full speed) somewhere between some seconds and some minutes after starting GNOME... Note that I have seen both: either no screen corruption at all or first slight signs of screen corruption (white rectangles around window frames) at the times of the hangs. The error messages that I find in /var/log/messages probably associated with the hangs (sorry, I can't get any messages ot of dmesg due to the hang...) seem to be the following: [drm:drm_mm_takedown] *ERROR* Memory manager not clean. Delaying takedown [drm:drm_mm_takedown] *ERROR* Memory manager not clean. Delaying takedown [drm:drm_mm_takedown] *ERROR* Memory manager not clean. Delaying takedown repeating any number between 3 to 5 times directly before the hangs (immediately followed by /var/log/messages starting over with my power-off machine restart). Will now move forward to test with the most recent stock kernel from the 3.6 series: 3.6.11-3.6.y.20121225.ol6 from the Oracle public yum playground to see whether this already is affected... :-( BR, Andreas -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
