Hello all, I'm experiencing an odd problem with a new system installed yesterday. Video HW is NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE], driver nouveau, login xdm-archlinux, windom manager is Windowmaker (but the same problem occurs with e.g. FVWM). Every _second_ login the following happens: * Input typed into xterm is displayed as spaces. All the rest (including completion and history) gets printed normally. * The top pixel rows of some lines in xterm are not displayed. * Apps displaying pixmaps show random garbage instead. When this happens, /var/log/Xorg.0.log has a line [ 42.200] (EE) NOUVEAU(0): Error allocating scanout buffer: 0 while in the other 50% of cases there are no errors. Any hints, options I could use to avoid this, ... ? TIA, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)
