[Nouveau] nouveau 1.0.17 and GT-710 (GK208B): graphics stack freezes when turning off display

Hi Ilia,

this is a first shot on getting the logs.

Does the list allow attachments? Else I need to find a place where I can upload the files.

The dmesg log was created with kernel command line arguments "log_buf_len=16M drm.debug=12".

I have indicated within the file when the desktop environment was ready, when the display was turned off by the 
screensaver and back on when moving the mouse. I then stopped the X server.

Please let me know if this test should be repeated with more verbose settings or if other log files are required, too.


Regards,

     Uwe
