Re: [Nouveau] nv50 mouse cursor disappears hourly
I started with this, git bisect start git bisect good a8072c2a92a13511e28edbec015b58c6b66c35c9 bit bisect bad master git reset -hard a8072c2a92a13511e28edbec015b58c6b66c35c9 # oops i really wanted this git reset --hard a733b93582023fd100c5ce6430f3a0b0f26af86c built that kernel, install, reboot Here's a summary. 2009-12-08 a8072c2a92a13511e28edbec015b58c6b66c35c9 I could not compile the stack. a8072c2a92a13511e28edbec015b58c6b66c35c9 a733b93582023fd100c5ce6430f3a0b0f26af86c root r...@bregalad.noblis.org 1266534758 -0500 pull : Fast-forward 2010-02-17 a733b93582023fd100c5ce6430f3a0b0f26af86c is marked as bad. Therefor i can't *really* say this is a regression. But this confuses me. I was running a733b93582023fd100c5ce6430f3a0b0f26af86c for about 8 work days (mon-fri) and never saw the bug. Is it possible that the bug is not in the kernel? What's the next package i should re-compile, nouveau-drm or xserver-xorg-video-nouveau? Here's the action that caused the mouse to disappear last time. In a konsole terminal i (1) typed dpkg -i (2) double clicked on linux-headers-2.6.32-nouveau.git_nouveau.1280_amd64.deb (3) middle mouse clicked to paste it (4) typed (5) double clicked on linux-image-2.6.32-nouveau.git_nouveau.1280_amd64.deb (6) the cursor was gone. Funny. I had already marked a733 as good, and compiled the next kernel 128022241f068271f0fc937edf9ed22ffbac3d77. When i was one keystroke away from installing it, a733 failed. I've tried very hard to reproduce this issue according to the steps above with several variations, but can't. I've tried middle mouse clicking in the window and dragging it outside the window, cutting and pasting very fast, very slow, repeatedly 20 times, bringing another window to focus between cut and paste. But nothing will reproduce it. thanks, Brian -- http://brian.derocher.org ___ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau

I also compiled nouveau-drm_2.4.18-1_amd64.deb and nouveau_drv.so that day and installed them to a Debian system. I'm using KDE 4.3. The mouse cursor disappears, but menu items that glow when the mouse is over them will still glow when the mouse is over them. I can click on stuff and menus pop up or actions occur as normal. I can logout, but i am not returned to the KDM menu. I can't switch to a virtual terminal. I must do a hard reboot. I haven't tried that SysReq thing. Next time it happens, i'll check /var/log/ I have compositing turned off according to KDE system-settings / Desktop. In fact all desktop effects are disabled.
