<div dir="ltr">Hi.<div><br></div><div>I am new to the listm so, first of all I'd like to say hello to everyone here in the list.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this list is an adequate place to post this; else, please, kindly direct me to the right list :)</div> <div><br></div><div>I write because I am having an issue with nouveau and mplayer. I have been only able to reproduce it with mplayer, but I think the issue lies in nouveau, either the kernel part or libdrm.</div><div><br> </div><div>The thing goes as follows:</div><div><br></div><div>1) I run "mplayer <random video file>", I have tried mkv and regular divx or mpeg video files, also youtube videos via the youtube-viewer tool, which uses mplayer as a backend to play youtube videos. The result is always the same, with independence of the video type.</div> <div><br></div><div>2) The laptop seems to hang. However, I can still move the mouse. No element in the UI reacts though.</div><div><br></div><div>3) If I wait enough time, I am suddenly thrown out to the VT, the pc still seems quite laggy. Eventually, it recovers and I can write commands into the VT.</div> <div><br></div><div>4) At the end of dmesg I can see by now this output:</div><div><br></div><div><div>[ 268.469736] nouveau E[ DRM] GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon</div><div>[ 283.487035] nouveau E[ X[2154]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0001 [X[2154]]</div> <div>[ 298.487016] nouveau E[ X[2154]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0001 [X[2154]]</div><div>[ 313.487034] nouveau E[ X[2154]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [X[2154]]</div><div>[ 328.487016] nouveau E[ X[2154]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [X[2154]]</div> <div>[ 343.587031] nouveau E[chrome[2279]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [chrome[2279]]</div><div>[ 358.587019] nouveau E[chrome[2279]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [chrome[2279]]</div><div>[ 373.589020] nouveau E[mplayer[2314]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [mplayer[2314]]</div> <div>[ 388.589031] nouveau E[mplayer[2314]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [mplayer[2314]]</div><div><br></div><div>5) In the X log I can see this:</div><div><br></div><div><div>(EE) [mi] EQ overflowing.

I am using nouveau 1.0.10, mesa 10.0.4, libdrm 2.4.52 and (probably irrelevant) mplayer 1.1.1.</div> <div><br></div><div>The kernel is unpatched, from <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> (no Gentoo stuff nor anything like that). </div><div><br></div><div>I have no idea how to start debugging this, so any pointer is welcome. Just for the sake of completeness, I have tried the nvidia blob and then it works without a problem. However I am not interested in using that. If nouveau fails I'd rather stick to vesa.</div> <div><br></div><div>Thanks for reading, and, please, forgive the long post. If you need some more info, please, feel free to ask and I will try to do my best. I can recompile anything and I can find my way around gdb as long as you tell me what to look for :)</div> <div><br></div>-- <br>Jesús Guerrero Botella </div></div>
