--- Comment #5 from Ilia Mirkin (imirkin at alum.mit.edu) ---
Please use bugs.freedesktop.org. That's what all the graphics people look at.
That's where the proper categories live. I just happened to notice this when
scanning dri-devel.

You mention that something broke in 4.9.10 (or .9) -- have you tried other
kernels? 4.10.x? 4.11.x? Various bugs in nouveau get fixed, etc.

Lastly, you may consider getting help on irc.freenode.net #nouveau - that may
be the fastest way to work out the issues.

I believe part of one of the problems was a bug in xf86-video-nouveau which was
fixed in 1.0.14:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/commit/?id=924083938c8f209d8f6ff472caf8692a644f7e78

Unfortunately based on your description, you could be running into bugs in any
number of pieces of software, and getting logs would be the most productive
thing to do. But not here -- please use bugs.freedesktop.org, as suggested by
the nouveau reporting bugs page, https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
