Hi Mike I installed the backport "libdrm-noveau2 2.4.70-1~bpo8+1" and then ran Universe Sandbox ² continuously for four hours with no problems. Moreover, when I executed "cat /var/log/messages | grep -i panic" or "cat /var/log/kern.log | grep -i "failed to idle channel"" several times over these four hours, there was, most desirably, no output.
One thing though, after those four hours, suddenly my system slowed right up. However, I do not think it was Sandbox or nouveau's fault, because when I checked the logs again after logging out then logging back in, there was again no output of the aforementioned error messages. However, after checking those log files for "segfault", I found a reference to my Google Chrome browser. In short, it seems the Nouveau backport does the trick, but I will monitor it for a while by running Universe Sandbox ² again over extended periods.
