Hi,

I've been attempting to package xf86-video-nouveau on
http://www.alpinelinux.org edge (which, though it's irrelevant, has entered a
feature freeze on main/* in preparation for 2.2). However, it freezes X for all
libdrm or xf86-video-nouveau snapshots tried. (Please note that Alpine Linux
uses uClibc, which may or may not be related to the problem.)

Combinations I've tried:

* latest git snapshot of libdrm, latest git snapshot of xf86-video-nouveau
* distro-supplied libdrm rebuilt with nouveau support enabled, latest git
snapshot of xf86-video-nouveau
* git snapshot of libdrm, Debian's
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau_0.0.16+git20101210+8bb8231 snapshot (minus their
patchset)
* distro-supplied libdrm rebuilt with nouveau support enabled, Debian's
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau_0.0.16+git20101210+8bb8231 snapshot (minus their
patchset)

In all cases, it freezes X solid (kill -9 won't even take it out), thereby
requiring a manual reboot.

Hardware:
AMD Sempron64 2600+, socket 754, in an nForce3-chipset motherboard
nVidia GeForce 6600 GT (NV43, rev a2)
1GB DDR RAM
