Have you enabled compiz (i.e. OpenGL-based 3D acceleration features)? I assume that so far, you haven't (it does not seem to be active in Ubuntu by default), which most likely is the only reason why you are not seeing the distortion issue (so far). See e.g. <a href="http://www.howtoforge.com/install-compiz-on-the-unity-desktop-on-ubuntu-12.04-precise-pangolin">http://www.howtoforge.com/install-compiz-on-the-unity-desktop-on-ubuntu-12.04-precise-pangolin</a> (depending on your particular Ubuntu version) on how to enable compiz. I am almost certain that once you have done so, you will also run see the distorted graphics, but you now already know the fix... ;-) > [ 18.984164] nouveau E[ PTHERM][0000:01:00.0] unhandled intr 0x00000161 This last "PTHERM" error seems to be a different, unrelated issue. > When I use the kernel option nouveau.config=PCRYPT=0 it doesn't eliminate > the errors and X still hangs when resuming. Hmm - interesting, as I clearly don't have any issues with suspend/resume. Which laptop do you have? Did you already update your BIOS to the latest available version? > I was not sure if I have to set the parameter in quotes. No, you don't (and AFAIK, you even must not). Ilia has already proposed the correct workaround for the distortion issue (until your distro of choice has integrated the new fix) - add this: nouveau.config=PCRYPT=0,PVP=0,PBSP=0,PMPEG=0 to your grub kernel parameters. Having done so, all "MMIO write" errors in dmesg must be gone (they are for me!), otherwise something else is still wrong for you in addition. Hope this helps & best regards, Andreas BTW @ Ilia: Did you already have a chance to contact Ben Skeggs about applying the fix to mainline RHEL 6.5 (and above) kernels?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
