Xorg goes 100% with NVRM messages

[zebdits]

Sometimes Xorg starts eating 100% cpu and I get some messages from nvidia driver. The only thing I can do is to connect with ssh and restart the machine because even if I kill Xorg and kldunload and kldload nvidia I get various errors.

Last time it happened the messages wereAug 20 17:08:12 regulus kernel: NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 8, Channel 00000001
Aug 20 17:08:12 regulus kernel: NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 6, PE0001
Aug 20 17:08:20 regulus kernel: NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 8, Channel 00000001
Aug 20 17:09:00 regulus kernel: NVRM: Xid (0002:00): 8, Channel 00000001

bug report attached.

Here we go again

[zebdits]

anyone can help?

[zebdits]

And again!


What are also all these messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? What do they mean?
(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 7, 0x008e, 0x00000044, 0x00000044)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (0, 6, 0x00fb, 0x00000054, 0x00000054)
(--) NVIDIA(0): No video decoder detected

Can you say something?
This is really getting frustrating.

Does it still hang if you set NvAGP to 0?

[zebdits]

Thank you!
I will try and let you know.
Unfortunately this is happening randomly and after several hours so it's hard to track down.

[zebdits]

After some days of hopes, it happened again.
No luck, even with Option "NvAGP" "0"

[zebdits]

More than three weeks are passed: any chance to get an answer???

[zebdits]

Hey, is this supposed to be a support forum, as written above?
I've also sent an email with my bug report.
What else I have to do to have a damn answer?
Man, this is really getting frustrating!
Is nvidia unable to explain their own error codes?

[zebdits]

This should be richer.

[zebdits]

Need some more?

I can throw out some suggestions, but they are guesses:

Reseat the card.
Check that you are not running into the limit of your PSU.
Try removing the monitor frequency settings.
Disable moused and use /dev/psm0 directly.
I saw mention somewhere of adding "Disable DRI" to the modules section, but this was for ATI or Intel.

[zebdits]

Being sincere, I was skeptical about your suggestion, anyway, reading my Xorg.0.log again I've found(II) LoadModule: "dri"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so
(II) Module dri: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.4.0, module version = 1.0.0
ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 0.3even if in my xorg.conf I have #Load "dri"
So it seems that xorg-7* loads dri even if it's not listed in Section "Module". Now I've added Disable "dri" in the same section and the message doesn't appear anymore.

The problem appears randomly and I can't find an action to trigger it, so only time will tell if that is the solution.
In the meanwhile...thank you very much!

Unfortunately, after ~ 2 weeks, some days ago it happened again.
I wonder why I'm getting 0 replies about this problem by the devs...
