Noveau crashes / How to restart automatically

[Javier Perez]

Hi

Noveau is crashing frequently, mostly whenever I run Civ 4 under wine.

The error looks like "nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Xorg[5268]: nv50cal_space: -16"

I have seen something similar in bugzilla so I hope they solve it.

Meanwhile, each time it happens, the whole graphical system freezes and I
have to do a

    "systemctl restart lightdm.service"

from a remote ssh session because mouse and keyboard become unresponsive.

My question is, how can I do this automatically. Is there an efficient way
to monitor if noveau crashes and send the restart sequence?

I think I could cook a some sort of journalctl -f >  "something" but it
seems too much like brute force. Is there any trigger or something that
could be applied in journal or somewhere else to pick up this kind of
situations?

Thanks
