Hm. Following the cryptic references in the RH bug, it's possible that there's a kernel commit that would fix this:
commit 1cfa49c2f1f3f42cf166438c17dafac577610836 Author: Ben Skeggs <bske...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 9 16:59:26 2010 +1000 drm/nv50: EVO uses a real ring buffer, not jumps back to start like PFIFO Tested on NV84GL and NV96 with cursor state caching disabled to force lots of EVO use, no problems seen. There's been some reports of EVO randomly dying and reporting an error during cursor state changes for some people, I've been unable to reproduce on my hardware but hopefully this is the culprit. Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bske...@redhat.com> I thought we had that in our tree, but it seems that we don't. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu Lucid) => linux (Ubuntu Lucid) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Lucid) Assignee: Chris Halse Rogers (raof) => (unassigned) -- mouse usage causes Xorg CPU usage to spike, and mouse pointer becomes less responsive https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558657 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
