Sys random lockup - 260.19.21

[braingravyuk]

Hi,
Am having random lockups which results in a green being displayed on the desktop, the system is able to be rebooted with syskey B if I try straight away.. if I wait then the system totally locks up and requires a power off.

Am using Xorg 260.19.21 driver on a 64bit system, the problem really is random, today it's hanged 3 times but the last couple of times it hasn't done it at all. I've got this from my Xorg.log.old as well..

I think this has only been happening since the jump to Xorg-server 1.9 but can't confirm that, sorry. The bug report was too large to upload so here is a link to it, nvidia-bug-report.log.gz. You can also see what the screen looks like when it hangs here

Thanks

Hi,
Got a dump from --logverbose 6 now, noticed in my system log the following:

In my xorg.log I got the following (it's cut off because I rebooted the system before it finished dumping - thought it was done):

I've placed the new bug report for download here

Now running 260.19.26, different behaviour this time, screen went green then became clear but X was totally unresponsive though I was able to ssh in and kill X. Only had this in dmesg (no messages in Xorg.log).

Other people are having this problem too:

What kernel version are you using? Since upgrading to 2.6.36.1, I have not had any issues with this problem.

[braingravyuk]

Thought I'll keep posting on this as a kind of progress thread haha, am running gentoo kernel 2.6.36-r3

[ChirmiPlay]

I've got the same issue with this driver. I'm using Fedora 14 x86_64, but in Ubuntu 10.10 this happens too. My kernel version is 2.6.35.9 and this problem began when I updated my driver from 256.53 to 260.19.12 (256.53 hasn't got this problem).

I hope someone can help us. Thanks!

The guys on the linked thread

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=157499

seem to have traced the problem to an xorg 1.9 issue.
