Thanks for the log and the follow up. It seems you experience a
problem, which is different from the original issue.
This bug has a very long history already thus I would not like to clone it.
Please open a new bug against libdrm-nouveau2 because the crash is
happening there. I suspect you would be able to use VDPAU using the
closed source nvidia driver.

Cheers,
Balint
