Hi, I'm experiencing VT switching flakiness with the debian stable nouveau driver.
ii xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345 The symptom is that trying to switch a VT between x-sessions running on different displays, i.e. :0 (VT-7) and :1 (VT-8) kills keyboard input. The box doesn't lock, I can ssh in and reboot, but it does have to be rebooted. I get a bunch of : syslog.0:Jul 9 23:15:50 windy kernel: [105281.262178] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: no space while hiding cursor syslog.0:Jul 9 23:15:50 windy kernel: [105281.426794] [drm] nouveau 0000:03:00.0: no space while hiding cursor It _appears_ that this problem has been patched Lucas Stach 2011-05-11 11:47:10 PDT Fixed by xf86-video-nouveau commit 8378443bd3b26b57ef2ae424a700e01ead813d33. Unfortunately it looks like the patch was committed in may, but even the unstable version 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1+b1: amd64 armel armhf i386 ... may not include it (says 4-11). How can I figure out if which debian version, if any, has the patch ? Is it reasonable for me to try and build the latest version, should I not be able to get a debian package which includes it ? Last time I tried to build an X driver it didn't end well, dependency hell and all that.
