Bug#833132: Extra Info on bug

[Vince Barwinski]

Hi again

I thought I would mention the fact that on my other partition I have the
following system installed:

   Static hostname: sparky
         Icon name: computer-laptop
           Chassis: laptop
        Machine ID: b85d8de0981079fb68762217504659b9
           Boot ID: b8b0e304a22b45269d9cda2c5348fcba
  Operating System: SparkyLinux Tyche
            Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64
      Architecture: x86-64

This is based on, and fully compatible with Debian 9 Testing Stretch.

My point is this, on my Sparky partition, when I do

cat /var/log/messages grep -i panic and cat /var/log/message.1 I grep -i
panic,

there is no output. However, even when I am not running steam on Jessie, I
still get these panic messages relating to my nouveau driver.

However when I run steam in Sparky I do not get these panic messages, and
furthermore, steam does not crash. In Sparky, when I do

cat /var/log/kern.log | grep -i cat /var/log/kern.log | grep -i cccc
(Looking for error message: nouveau E[Xorg[871]] failed to idle channel
0xcccc0000 )

I get no output during the running of steam or after I stop running steam.

In debian stable jessie I am running nouveau version: 1:1.0.11-1,
libdrm-nouveau2:amd64 2.4.58-2

While in Sparky, I am running nouveau version: 1:1.0.12-2,
libdrm-nouveau2:amd64 2.4.68-1

Another thing, In debian jessie, when I connect my laptop via HDMI to my
Optama projector, I get video tearing. However, in sparky with the more up
to date nouveau driver, I do not. I think the nouveau driver n debian
stable needs to be updated.

Cheers
