ouch - that's a pity... :-(

As stated earlier, as I am using the free (only as in beer...) Oracle Linux
version rather than a commercial pais RHEL license, I cannot file any issues
with them, so I was hoping about you being able to raise this with him within
the nouveau team. It clearly deserves a fix, but I won't be able to drive
anything myself here due to the lack of a paid license... :-(

Oh, and one more thing by the way:

Interestingly, I can also confirm that for me, the proprietary NVidia "blob"
Unix driver version 331.38 (which has just been released this week):

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/672875

indeed has also fixed the long-standing hang issue with their drivers for my
Quadro NVS 130M on both Linux and Solaris. Even better news is that the fix
will also be integrated into the next R331 release for Windows (it is not yet
in Windows versions 331.93 or 332.21)!

But while it took NVidia a little less than two years between introducing their
regression bug (all releases since 285.x are affected), you/the nouveau team
have tracked down and fixed this issue in just a couple of days... :-)

So thanks again for your great work on nouveau! :-)

BR,
Andreas
