dmesg

I am not sure whether this is the correct location to report this bug. If not
please direct me to the right one.

My X happens to hang regularly recently. It is then impossible to switch to a
VT (the screen just stays the same) or recover from that in any way. Restarting
X ("rc-service xdm restart" on Gentoo) will not work, but notify me that it was
impossible to stop X. I cannot kill it using SIGTERM and using SIGKILL also
seems to only react after tens of seconds up to some minutes. The computer
stays responsive via SSH for the whole time. htop shows no extraordinary CPU
(load 0.05) or memory (1G, not growing) usage. Swap is disabled and free still
shows about 3G of free memory (+2G currently used for caches).

This time I was playing a DVD using MPlayer and while doing so looked at a
website in Chromium, marking a text. Today I was able to get to a VT once, but
then I tried to restart X (s.a.) and screen locked completely. I now also
looked at dmesg and found a line which might be related:
[drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: PGRAPH - ERROR nsource: LIMIT_COLOR nstatus:

More about my system:

Attached is the dmesg.log, emerge-info (Gentoo system info) and Xorg.0.log (for
completeness, though it shows nothing of interest to me).
