You don't need to have any experience in driver programming to bisect this bug. git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/ cd xf86-video-nouveau/ ./autogen.sh make If you can compile successfully, do: 1) git bisect start xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.3 xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.2 2) make && sudo rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so && sudo cp src/.libs/nouveau_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers 3) Restart X. Try to reproduce the bug. 4) If you can't reproduce it - do "git bisect good", if you can - do "git bisect bad". 5) Go to 2). After ~4 compiles it will tell you about first bad commit - this is what we want to see.
