Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Booting from a fresh 10.04 Desktop i386 cd. System comes up normally until a the mouse is hovered over an icon (eg: firefox or help default icon) and a tooltip is generated. The system then locks up. Unable to start a virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-f1-6. System responds to alt-sysreq-REISUB and can reboot. After following the suggestions on the troubleshooting portion of the wiki the logs seem to fill up with this stuff: (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze#Problem:%20%20Log%20shows%20%22[mi]%20EQ%20overflowing%22%20and%20X%20freezes) Adding nouveau.noaccel=1 as a kernel boot parameter results in a successful boot and I am unable to reproduce the freeze. Expected behaviour: Desktop doesn't freeze when hovering mouse pointer over icon when using nouveau driver in accelerated mode. Actual behaviour: Desktop freezes when hovering mouse pointer over icon when using nouveau driver in accelerated mode.
