<pre>I recently bought a low-end Ryzen and needed a basic video card with a vga
connector, so I bought a GT710 (GK208B). The system is intended to be used for
compiling/measuring builds from source, but it is almost unusable in X because
of video errors which cause the desktop to lockup (no mouse clicks or keyboard,
MagicSysRQ works).
Packages: linux-4.15.12, gcc-7.3.0, glibc-2.27, mesa-17.3.7,
xorg-server-1.19.6, nouveau-1.0.15.
So far this bug has bitten me twice. The first time I had built xorg and was
running fluxbox while I built the rest of my desktop. I had 4 or 5 urxvt terms
open across two desktops, nothing else, running a compile in one. I had been
reading mail on the second desktop, then tried to go back to the first to check
progress.
After waiting a little I rebooted. The system log had what I thought was a lot
of output (about 50000 lines, I think), starting

(similar CHSW ERROR messages after that).
Because of the other problem, which I will post after this, I then tried using
hte modesetting driver in Xorg. But I got a similar, bigger, report (left it
trying to compile, came back to find an xscreensaver screen, when I rebooted I
had almost 1.3 million lines in the log:

(and then a few more before it rebooted).
Because this is a new machine, I have no idea if this is a regression or has
always been like this.</pre>
