[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 583760] Re: Mouse cursor dissappears with nouveau
Still occurring with the latest Natty. Fedora is now including the work around patch in their stock kernels (called drm-nouveau-evo-hang.patch). I've been running this patch on top of the stock ubuntu kernels for months now with no negative side effect. The impact of the patch is low, as its with an experimental driver anyway. Without it, the system becomes nearly unusable when enough cursor hides/unhides happen which cause the buffer to wrap. The only thing the workaround does is shrink the size of the buffer by a few entries. While I would like a real fix, one doesn't appear to be coming from upstream anytime soon. The impact is low, the benefits are high, its an isolated patch that will only affect users with that hardware. Can we -please- get this workaround patch into a natty kernel update, or, at the very least into oneric's(sp?) kernel? The patch ported from fedora would be in driver/gpu/drm/nouveau/nv50_evo.c, approx. lilne 184: /* enable error reporting on the channel */ nv_mask(dev, 0x610028, 0x, 0x00010001 id); evo-dma.max = (4096/4) - 2 + evo-dma.max = ~7; evo-dma.put = 0; evo-dma.cur = evo-dma.put; evo-dma.free = evo-dma.max - evo-dma.cur; original patch from fedora 14: From d0301ece9e093c484f880893dc86d97848360892 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Skeggs bske...@redhat.com Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 18:50:57 +1000 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm-nouveau-evo-hang On some GF8+ boards, the display engine will stop processing its push buffer if a wrap-around occurs at a certain point.

I get this problem on a regular basis. Several times a day. It requires a full reboot to reset. I am running 10.10 on a Thinkpad T410 with an external monitor. The mouse cursor disappears from the built-in display on the laptop but continues to appear on the external monitor. The mouse does, in fact, work on the built-in display but is invisible. there is nothing abnormal in the Xorg.0.oog, but dmesg always has the following.
