Hi,

I am running 64 bit CentOS 6.5, and have an intermittent problem where the desktop crashes with the following error

nouveau E[Xorg 6062]] failed to idle channel 0xccc0000

The only route I have out of it is to power down then restart. It is intermittent, where some days it does not happen, to 2-3 times per day. Have others had this experience and is there a solution?

I have had this experience, with different distributions, basically RH based (Fedora, CentOS) Debian based (Lubuntu), and Arch.

I always gave up and use the NVidia drivers--in CentOS' case, from Elrepo, which makes it quick and easy.
