Got lucky, sort of. I was just working in a virtual terminal when the lockup occurred. That doesn't rule out X in that X was running (I had just opened the terminal and was reading a man page), however, it suggests the problem might not be with X. That is consistent with the observation that restarting gdm3 does not clear the fault. > > > 2/ Review you kernel log, just in case ("cat /var/log/kern.log | > > grep input"). Found the following lines (more of same) in kern.log at the time of the lockup. However, I don't see them for other lockups (a lockup occurred while I was typing this email), so it could be a red-herring: Jan 15 09:20:58 gauss kernel: [164858.674186] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: nouveau_channel_free: freeing fifo 2 Jan 15 09:20:59 gauss kernel: [164859.749505] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: nouveau_channel_free: freeing fifo 1 Jan 15 09:20:59 gauss kernel: [164859.750491] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 1/5 Mthd 0x0000 Data 0x80000013 Jan 15 09:20:59 gauss kernel: [164859.750507] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH_ERROR - nSource: DATA_ERROR, nStatus: BAD_ARGUMENT Jan 15 09:20:59 gauss kernel: [164859.750511] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH_ERROR - Ch 1/5 Class 0x008a Mthd 0x0300 Data 0x00000000:0x00000000 Jan 15 09:20:59 gauss kernel: [164859.750566] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PFIFO_CACHE_ERROR - Ch 1/4 Mthd 0x0000 Data 0x8000001a Jan 15 09:20:59 gauss kernel: [164859.750580] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: PGRAPH_ERROR - nSource: ILLEGAL_MTHD, nStatus: BAD_ARGUMENT PROTECTION_FAULT -- Joe Riel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
