Comment 0 for bug 1243557

With the Nouveau driver selected, my system freezes within a few minutes of boot if on battery, but only on heavy graphics load (flightgear in maximized window) if on mains. The mouse pointer still moves, but neither the keyboard LEDs nor Alt+SysRq+b reboot work: the only way out is the power button. The kernel log nearly always contains the line

nouveau ![ PFIFO][0000:01:00.0] unhandled status 0x00800000

and sometimes other errors as well; the full log is attached.

This does not occur with the nvidia-319 driver (which I hence switched back to, before running apport). I first noticed it after upgrading to 13.10, but suspect this was because I'd never done the above in Nouveau before, not an actual regression.

Possibly related to bug 1241595.
