I applied that patch to Ubuntu Trusty 3.13.0-38.65, and it gives a huge improvement. X no longer crashes on startup, and 3D acceleration works.
However I also get the glitchy noise a few times a second, except when showing a static image. It is all over the screen, and sometimes appears as triangles. Running glxgears and Firefox at the same time also starts giving errors in the kernel log pretty quickly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1217585 Title: System hangs after some time with nouveau and GT240 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nouveau/+bug/1217585/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
