Graphics issues on Lenovo T530

[Darryl L. Pierce]

Video hardware is an nVidia GF108 [Quadro NVS 5400M] chipset. What I'm
seeing is, either when first logging in or when resuming from suspend
mode, the desktop is either scrambled (but still active) or
non-responsive. If I SSH into the laptop or else drop to a TTY, I see:

Apr 22 09:25:29 mcpierce-work kernel: [ 1614.663139] nouveau E[PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0] TRAP
ch 3 [0x001fb8c000]
Apr 22 09:25:29 mcpierce-work kernel: [ 1614.663144] nouveau E[PGRAPH][0000:01:00.0]
SHADER 0xa2040200

scrolling by the screen. When I restart X the error sometimes stops, but
when the problem occurs that message is there.

Any suggestions?

After some extra googling I found one suggestion for this, to add
"nox2apic" to the kernel command line. My laptop, at least for the
moment, seems to be rather stable.

....and, 2 minutes later, the video went nuts when I tried to change my
wallpaper....

You should consider installing the nVidia driver from the rpmfusion repo

After spending 20 minutes restarting X to get fonts to show up on my
desktop (after logging in, Xchat always starts with no text visible, the
same on terminals as well) I had to install the closed source nVidia
drivers. :-/

Is there a way to setup the cards so that I don't have to run the nVidia
config each time I dock (I have two docs: work has two monitors, home
has one) and undock? Also, do the drivers work properly with suspend and
resume?
