                    graphics and disappearing mouse cursor
           Product: xorg

kernel_log

Overview:
Whenever I disconnect or reconnect my monitor via HDMI or switch systems with
my HDMI switcher, the screen seems to be laggy and my mouse cursor won't move.
There seems to be input from the mouse as I can use the 'hidden' cursor to log
out and log back in which resolves the issue.

I can only describe the effect as being extremely laggy. In chrome I can see
that tabs change, however content won't show. I can type in the terminal but
only see some letters appearing (really slowly and random).

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Disconnect HDMI cable
2) Reconnect

Actual Results:
Slow and unusable screen

Expected Results:
Usable screen

Hardware:
NVIDIA Corporation GM206 [GeForce GTX 960]

Software:
Fedora 24

Can you see if your interrupt rate goes through the roof? You can see in
/proc/interrupts. Is the attached kernel log from after the issue happens?

The log is indeed after the issue occurred. I have added a cat of the
interrupts before and after.

Hm, 300 interrupts is hardly what I call a storm. Maybe with 3 or 4 more 0's on
it...

Try booting with

nouveau.debug=debug drm.debug=14

and see if that reveals anything interesting.

And no messages are constantly repeating in "steady state"? If not, I got
nothing. Otherwise we're not properly clearing some interrupt state. I do see

nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: DAC1 sense: 80100000

a whole bunch. Which reminds me - there was some userspace application that
kept polling and repolling connector state and messing things up. Perhaps the
unplug/plug activates it in your desktop environment?

I am not sure how I can check for messages that are constantly repeating in
"steady state". I can provide a list of running apps if that helps at all. But
it is a pretty clean installation (or at least I think so :P ).

Once you get to a messed up state, ssh in from another machine and run

dmesg -w

And see if new messages keep appearing. If they do, I'd be curious which ones.

Ok cool, I have a horrible work around! I installed Arandr, now if I disconnect
the monitor and reconnect, the graphics are screwed up (laggy and does not seem
to be updated).

If I then just do a ctrl-return in Arandr (apply settings) all is back to
normal.

Does this maybe give a clue of what happens? I wonder if there is a way of
connecting a script to the reconnect event to do this underwater. It ain't
pretty but at least it is somewhat workable.

uhh I remember. At work on a xfce4 machine we also have troubles with a laptop
+ 2 external monitors on an AMD gpu. After login all screens are black and
sometimes when reconnecting screens we have really bad artefacts on one of
them.

Maybe this is a xfce4 issue?

Hmm, it does start to look like this is a XFCE bug instead of nouveau. I'll try
and see what happens with another DE. Thanks for all the responses so far, I
actually learned a lot.

I think this can be closed as it does seem to be a XFCE bug rather than
nouveau. I have confirmed that KDE/openbox do work when switching or
disconnecting the monitor. 

For future reference, when people have the same issue I would recommend
creating a keyboard shortcut that loads an Arandr script. (mine is at
win+alt+pause). Thanks for the responses and help figuring this out.
