Bug#768480: lincity-ng: Start Up Causes Black Screen After Booting Latest Kernel

[David L. Craig]

Package: lincity-ng
Version: 2.0-4+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After applying normal morning Sid update, launching lincity-ng in
XFCE environment brings up black screen with centered X-pointer and
non-functional mouse buttons.  After about half a minute, nouveau
complains in kern.log:

E[lincity-ng[2108]] failed to idle channel 0xcccc0000 [lincity-ng[2108]]

Killing lincity with HUP locks up the system for about half a minute.

What aptitude did:
