Hi Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

The nouveau driver + mesa10.1 freeze all system, not magic keys, no logs, only show a screen with glitches and ramdom trash.
Use applications is impossible, I'm only enter the system and this freeze and not respond. Button reset is the only form for reboot the system.

This situation repeat with nouveau + mesa9.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

System is unusable.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

System usable and working without problems.

Boot with nouveau.noaccel=1 kernel parameter.  If that does not help,
try the nomodeset parameter.

Cheers,

Hi Sven,

I tried this options (nomodeset and noaccel=1), and not effect in both
cases (using nouveau+mesa9 and nouveau+mesa10), at login system this
freeze with corruted display.

This problem isn't new, in Jessie with nouveau + mesa9, upload a bug
report and now with nouveau + mesa10 back to having the same error.
There bug not only affects Debian, Fedora and other distros are also
affected, especially when it comes to the IGP Nvidia 6150 SE nForce 430.
In Wheezy all is functional.

Actually, nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 might help.  See #758460[1] for the
gory details.
