Hello,
Per this page:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#How_do_I_backport_a_sid_package_to_testing_or_stable.3F
I did the following:
added
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list
then:
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (this got 35 packages)
apt-get -b source xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (to build the sid packages)
This generated:
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau_1.0.1-3_i386.deb and
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-dbg_1.0.1-3_i386.deb
dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-dbg_1.0.1-3_i386.deb
installed it.
After a reboot, after a kdm login, the display freezes before the 3d
icon is unfuzzied.
Assuming this did install the sid nouveau driver, the problem is
still there and I don't know what else to try.
Interestingly, there are mentions of "EQ overflow" which I've seen in
other bugs I've perused.
There's also this:
[18.285] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Unknown vendor-specific block f
with some binary garbage in the log file below.
I could use some hints...
Thanks!
