Comment 0 for bug 1510301

After upgrading to WIly, I'm experiencing severe graphics corruption in KDE/Plasma. My graphics card is "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)" and I use the nouveau drivers. My problem matches that of Freedesktop.org bug 92504 [1] and applying the patch from its comment 23 [2] seems to alleviate my problem.

After correcting line numbers, the patch applies cleanly to the WIly kernel. I do not understand the nouveau code or the patch, but it seems the patch could easily be backported to correct a severe problem that surely affects a lot of users.
