https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61069 --- Comment #5 from dave.mueller-OI3hZJvNYWs@public.gmane.org --- Perhaps you have to try with a bigger image (e.g. 4096x4096 pixel) to compensate for your larger screen resolution. I didn't played with the compositor so far, just used the standard KDE settings. I don't think that a second X session will do any good, as the system is quite unstable after the crash and needs to be rebooted. My NV17 also has 64MiB VRAM as shown below: nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] BOOT0 : 0x017200a5 nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] Chipset: NV17 (NV17) nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:01:00.0] Family : NV10 nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:01:00.0] checking PRAMIN for image... nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:01:00.0] ... appears to be valid nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:01:00.0] using image from PRAMIN nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:01:00.0] BMP version 5.15 nouveau [ VBIOS][0000:01:00.0] version 04.17.00.45.00 nouveau [ PTIMER][0000:01:00.0] unknown input clock freq nouveau [ PFB][0000:01:00.0] RAM type: DDR1 nouveau [ PFB][0000:01:00.0] RAM size: 64 MiB nouveau [ PFB][0000:01:00.0] ZCOMP: 0 tags nouveau [ DRM] VRAM: 63 MiB nouveau [ DRM] GART: 128 MiB nouveau [ DRM] BMP version 5.21 nouveau [ DRM] DCB version 2.0 nouveau [ DRM] DCB outp 00: 01000100 000088b8 nouveau [ DRM] DCB outp 01: 02010111 00000003 nouveau [ DRM] DCB outp 02: 02010211 00000003 nouveau [ DRM] Merging DCB entries 1 and 2 nouveau [ DRM] Loading NV17 power sequencing microcode nouveau [ DRM] Saving VGA fonts nouveau [ DRM] 1 available performance level(s) nouveau [ DRM] 0: memory 332MHz nouveau [ DRM] c: core 249MHz memory 333MHz nouveau [ DRM] MM: using M2MF for buffer copies nouveau [ DRM] Setting dpms mode 3 on TV encoder (output 1) nouveau [ DRM] allocated 1600x1200 fb: 0x9000, bo f5a0c600 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
