Bug#644601: [xserver-xorg-core] hard lock-up: [mi] EQ overflowing

[Diggory Hardy]

Hi,

Since then I've had one similar lock-up with the nvidia driver (but no useful error messages this time), so I switched to nouveau.

In some cases nouveau works nicely, but display hot-plugging is a little finicky with the GUI interfaces sometimes leaving me with no display (annoying), display-port appears not to work (annoying but not too bad since VGA works), and STR standby doesn't work (complete deal breaker for me). I couldn't find any useful error messages regarding the standby problem (the machine hung with the standby LED flashing and fan cranking up indicating high CPU load) so I gave up on nouveau (no one else has an idea on this?).

So I guess this report should be closed as unsolvable with no one in a better position to before — too bad since nouveau seems like a nice alternative but it just isn't usable for me.
