--- Comment #37 from WeKa <klein.wolfg at web.de> ---
Aunt Google pointed me to this bug report, because I am experimenting something
similar. If it has nothing to do with this bug, feel free to delete my writing:

I am running kernel 4.9.19 with nouveau module driving a GeForce 9300 GE. My
desktop is KDE 4.14.2 and I am using OpenGL 3.1. I am not playing any game on
this machine, I am using it for work only, but I like the desktop effects,
that's the reason for OpenGL, and everything works fine.  

Now I tried switching to kernel 4.10, but as soon as KDE starts, the system
crashes. I fiddled around the system settings a bit and I found that when
switching to XRender or to OpenGL 1.2, the system does *not* crash any more. As
soon as I switch to a higher OpenGL version, the system crashes again at KDE
starting.

Switching back to OpenGL 1.2, the system doesn't crash. 

Unfortunately, there's no error to be found in Xorg.log, so I cannot provide
you with that information.
