Description:

The GPU lockup freezes the GUI and then crashes Xorg. After taking a look into dmesg, the issue seems to be a problem with nouveau:

[175173.583470] systemd-journald[157]: Failed to write entry, ignoring: Argument list too long


The graphics adapter is a Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS, which seems to be unsupported by latest properitary Nvidia drivers (the GUI comes not up using that driver), so nouveau is the way to go.

Additional info:
* xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1
* nouveau-dri 9.1.6-1
* xorg-server 1.14.2-2

No manual configuration for Xorg is made.


Steps to reproduce:
Using Xorg with GNOME 3.8 for a while until the desktop freezes and Xorg is restarted automatically to end up in GDM again.
This task depends upon
