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.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
