Dear Maintainer,
rate as expected. Probalem is affecting other packages such as Meshlab and
Survex, but this is as far as my trouble shooting skills go

do you mean xorg.config, if so this does not exist, noticed a couple of
years ago due to another bug, tried to follow

https://wiki.debian.org/Xorg

But that did not work, was not causing any real problems, so ignored it.
glxgears was working both before and after, stopped on some update, but
I did not notice which one

log attached

thanks

Is this still an issue?
If so please attach the output from dmesg and glxinfo.
Could you try with a newer kernel from backports or test with Debian
Testing?

Reassigning to mesa for now, could be a bug in the 3d mesa driver, the
kernel driver or somewhere else.

Thanks,
Andreas.

Hi Andreas,

2 days ago, you very politely and nicely asked if
bug #784641 was still an issue.

Yes, glxgears shows static gears for me too, and
the stack trace has

    /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_dri.so

which is in libgl1-mesa-dri.

I filed the bug report at

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803528

Feel free to

    a.) merge the bug reports and

    b.) let me know if you'd like more info.

I'm debugging it now.

Thanks,
Kingsley

Yes

okay
Intend to move to Testing soon, however, cannot do either of the above
at the moment, due to other commitments, sorry

It seems to be a kernel bug after all.  Andrew, could you please boot
with the kernel parameter "nouveau.config=NvMSI=0"?  Other users have
reported that this helps[1,2].

Cheers,
       Sven

No this does not appear to help.

Sorry for the delay, lots on my plate at the moment
