Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Using the latest lucid package set of 3.20.2010 in the Lucid repos I have an issue where my mouse cursor will randomly disappear on one of my screens. I can still move windows and click on things on the screen where my cursor has disappeared but I cannot see where it is. This has happened on both of my displays so it is not favoring the primary over the secondary.

Is this 100% reproducible on your system, or a random occurance?

100% reproducible. The timing between power source change and the symptoms varies, but always within minutes I get to the issue.
Right now the only way out seems a reboot, suspending or hibernating leads to a black screen on resume.

Affects me too. 100% reproducible by doing the following:
1. Set close lid to blank screen
2. Close lid
3. Open lid
It also seems to happen after 30-60 minutes of general usage.
From that point on any cursor change (mouse over anything) creates the following messages and bursts of high CPU usage:

Rebooting clears this, and doesn't happen with proprietary driver.

In my case suspend/resume works to clear it. I get a black screen with cursor on resume (animation at full speed which indicates problem cleared), switching to a console 2 and back to 1 gets the unlock screen. Once unlocked no cursor problems.
So, a sort of workaround for now :)
Also happens switching to battery for me, as the original reporter indicated.

This just happened to me as well - this is a desktop system so no suspend/resume or anything. The machine had been up for about four days (but unused for the last two) and just suddenly started spitting out those messages every time anything tried to change the cursor.

Tom, which graphic card are you running (use "lspci -nn" to find out)?

The card is:

I do have a slightly unusual setup in that I have two monitors attached, one of which is rotated. This has led to one other cursor related problem which is reported in bug #538866.

I have a dual screen setup and I'm seeing lots of the "no space while setting cursor image" notices. When moving the mouse from one monitor to the other, the cursor gets "stuck" on the previous monitor. This primarily happens when the cursor changes, ie, when moused over a border to resize a window. When this happens, the stuck cursor appears several hundred pixels higher on the middle border of the screen (in this example, with the "resize" cursor).

I've been running on that kernel since last Wednesday, and no sign of any problems so far. It can sometimes take a week or more before it happens though so it may still appear again.

Hi Ben, I did not realize there were changes related to this in the latest kernel. I just tried unplugging the power cord and my cursor completely disappeared...
However, after a reboot I was not able to reproduce the issue again, so I'm not really sure about the status of this bug. I will test a bit more then let you know how it goes.
Thanks!

Ben, right it seems the original issue is gone for me.
I think there's more to investigate (for instance, I experienced a black screen with only the mouse visible on a resume after suspend) but I guess I'll open other reports if I manage undestard which usage pattern triggers it.

Miroslav: is this an easily reproducible issue for you? I may have added a fix to nouveau upstream, which'll make it into rawhide soon that will hopefully fix this once and for all. I can't say for sure since none of my cards exhibit the problem for some reason.
The current rawhide kernel has code which'll mostly avoid the issue, making it much harder to reproduce (in theory).

This raises a lot of issues - what was happening is that READ_GET() in
drivers/
the performance problems are because of a spin lock - if I try increasing
the timeout int READ_GET() from 100000 to 1000000, the performance problems
get 10 times worse.
Secondly, why are nv50_cursor_show() & nv50_cursor_hide()
in /drivers/
only needs to be called once per attached monitor, and then _hide only when
it really does need to be hidden, ie. when playing a movie or switching VT
(ie. with the above kludge the mouse cursor stays visible on the VT's), not
every time the mouse cursor changes. It could be even my WM (IceWM) making all those calls, I haven't looked into this further.
I don't have time to look into this further at all.

Show/Hide will get called every time the cursor image is updated, however, they'll actually do nothing unless it needs to change the state, which isn't very often.
The reason it's returning EBUSY is because the display engine is hanging for some, yet unknown, reason. Unfortunately none of my systems appear to display the behaviour so I've not been able to track down what's going on yet.

I have been running Fedora 13 Alpha since the release day, and the problem only happened today after about 4 hours uptime and 2 hours of active work. Something is different today than the days before: I've mounted the debugfs at /sys/kernel/debug, which I have not done before today. It would be a strange connection if this was the culprit, though.

I started getting these messages yesterday, I suspect it was when I experienced a sudden very high load and non-responsiveness - I was running a windows machine inside virtualbox so that I could run gotomeeting, and I was given control of the meeting. When I would click on something in the vm nothing would happen until I moved the mouse out of the virtualbox.
But I've continued to get the messages at a lower rate even after suspending the windows machine.

I had this problem a while ago and rolled back nouveau and the problem went away (well it didn't happen again - but of course that's no certainty that the bug was not present in the earlier versions)
The old nouveau that appears to be OK is:
xorg-x11-
(that's the one I rolled back to when the mouse problem first showed itself)
5 days ago I did a full update that included:
kernel-
xorg-x11-
and the problem has happened again today (for the first time since the rollback)
Xorg.0.log info:
First nVidia message is:
nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600 GTS rev 161, Mem @ 0xf6000000/
I use a USB mouse, log says:
Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)
I also have a USB Bamboo that the log finds BEFORE the mouse:
Wacom BambooFun 6x8
(I don't use the pen)
The rest of the log looks like status dumps without any error messages.
In my case it's a dual display and acts even stranger when the problem occurs (randomly?):
The left display shows the mouse correctly (but jerky)
In the right display (which has the menu bar) the mouse works but it is invisible
More strange: the mouse image is partially still shown on the edge of the left screen while using the right screen
When the screen saver comes on the mouse is still visible in the left screen
It doesn't fix the problem when the screen comes back
(thought I'd mention that because I've seen it said elsewhere)
It maybe happens when mplayer is playing fullscreen
(so a fullscreen app may be needed to activate the bug)
Of course when the problem wasn't there I was using the current mplayer version constantly also
The first dmesg error was:
[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: EvoCh 0 Mthd 0x0000 Data 0x00000400 (0x0002 0x01)
followed by lots of the cursor messages (both 'hiding' and 'unhiding')

Minor updates on previous post:
I only boot runlevel 3 and thus always use startx
(as user "root")
Once the problem has occurred:
X menu System->"Log Out root..." fails to go back to the console
(the screen clears to just showing the backgrounds and then stops)
OS is of course unaffected by this - ssh login works fine
(I use that to "shutdown -r now")
I've rolled back to xorg-x11-

However, I have found another problem with my system that may have something to do with the nouveau bug presenting itself.
My USB mouse is possibly failing and switches on and off sometimes ... easy for me to see while dragging windows around, because it sometimes lets go of a window but I haven't released the left mouse button

Band-aid patch that solves the problem for me
Continuing the work I started in comment 42, I was also seeing the "EvoCh 0 Mthd
0x0000 Data 0x00000400 (0x0002 0x01)" messages as everyone else. I did more investigation, and found that not using the last 32 bytes of the Evo ring buffer solved the issue for me -- I no longer get the EvoCh messages, which directly lead to the "no space" messages as seen by the original report and the jerky mouse movements reported by others. This bug is current as of F13, and is likely in F14 and rawhide, as the issue is not yet fixed upstream.
Prior to the patch, dma.max was getting the value 1022. &'ing with ~7 was equivalent to subtracting another 6 entries from that value. I also tried ~3, but that did not fix the issue. I was asked on IRC to try subtracting 5, 4 etc to narrow down the minimum value, and my testing confirmed that subtracting 6 (&= ~7) was minimal. I also tried changing some of the register settings above (NV50_PDISPLAY_
I don't like that my patch involves yet more magic numbers without explanation, but it has been stable for me for the past few weeks, and solves my cursor problem.

Test program that provokes the problem
This program hides/unhides the cursor for the number of cycles given on the command line, default 1. I use this to push the Evo channel's index through the rewind and expose the EvoCh messages. It's much easier than moving the cursor from window to window for a while until things wrap. With my patch, this survives thousands of iterations.

Odd, Since in Fedora 12 it worked fine (cursor showed up without any issues). It only seemed to happen after a certain point. Next time I have to reboot, I'll swap to an external card vs. the built in video).

I guess it's possible something in nouveau now triggers the hw bug more reliably. All previous reports indicate that it would usually come up find, and disappear randomly at some point until a reboot. I used to have the effected hardware (the machine has since died), and even the NVIDIA binary driver could not bring it back once it went.

Previous kernel was 2.6.35-59, and audio still works if I boot it. Yeah I know, it's weird. I'm looking after getting some more info about it, but I doubt I'll have time today...

Sorry disregard my bug report, I verified it's a problem with the new dracut update that triggers when a new initramfs is built, not a kernel problem. Coincidentally the two things overlapped on my system. Sorry for wasting your time.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this
bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version,
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here:

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Scott Zawalski, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-
apport-collect -p xserver-
Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.
Thank you for your understanding.

Nouveau works nicely on my laptop, including suspend and resume, until the power source changes (from AC to battery or from battery to AC).
After that event, mouse pointer gets flaky and I see in /var/log/messages lots of lines like:
