A Happy New Year to everybody! :-)

Just wondering whether you intend to simply close this issue down with the workaround "solution" for me to set kernel option

nouveau.config=PCRYPT=0

or whether you are still interested in finding out *why* my Quadro NVS 130M and other 8400M-based cards do not seem support this functionality (or what might need to be done differently in the driver to ensure they do).

Additional interesting information:

I have been informed that folks at NVIDIA have recently succeeded to track down a Solaris hang issue in their proprietary Unix drivers ("blob") that affected exactly Quadro NVS 130M cards (AFAIK, NVIDIA IR # 1172500).

I can indeed reproduce these hangs on Solaris 11.1, so this issue probably matches the unpredictable hangs that I have been also seeing with the Linux blob versions > 285.05.09 that made their drivers unusable for me.

AFAIK, their fix is scheduled to be fixed in the third update to their R331 series in February.

So how would you like to proceed regarding this issue?

Thanks & BR,
Andreas
