After a while (I'm not sure how long) using nouveau, something happens
which causes all of these symptoms to begin:

1. cursor movments become jerky
2. moving cursor from one screen to another leaves a copy of the cursor on the first screen
3. syslog shows many lines of "nouveau 0000:01:00.0: no space while hiding cursor"
4. switching to a text VT 'hangs' the display (showing the X screen still) and switching back 'unhangs' display (while on a text VT, though you can't see anything, you can do things 'blindly')
5. restarting X leaves the screen 'hung' with no ability to SysRq+REISUB (keyboard is fully locked up)

A while after the above happens, the entire system will become
unresponsive (though background process like RAID resync or torrent
continue), and the keyboard doesn't work at all. The only thing that
works is moving the mouse cursor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a computer with the nouveau driver for 'a while'
Actual Results:  
Please see 'description'.

Expected Results:  
No loss of stability over time.

Kernel is from torvalds/linux-2.6.git, though this did still occur with
gentoo-sources-2.6.37.

Have you tried disabling hardware cursor yet?

Option "HWCursor" "false"

Also should be worth trying this patch:

With hardware cursor disabled my cursor flickers heavily and is most of
the time invisible. I'm using the default X cursors (the black one, no
special cursors like DMZ installed).

The xorg.conf I tried:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "gtx260"
    Driver         "nouveau"
    Option         "HWCursor" "false"
EndSection

Also, if I understand correctly, that patch was for kernels before
somewhere around 2.6.35, right? Just by eyeing my nv50_display.c I can
see that the patch probably wouldn't apply anymore on my 2.6.38-rc3
tree.

By the way, this problem still occurs with the latest nouveau as built
in the latest linux-next git kernel. Apparently git.freedesktop has an
even newer nouveau so I might try that. Unless the bug is actually in
the xorg driver for nouveau?

Although the keyboard is fully non-operational (no VTs!) and the mouse
cursor only moves but doesn't work once the hang occurs, SSH and network
still work, and I received these four lines on /var/log/messages the
moment nouveau hung:

I have also seen it vary slightly on the mthd (which has been 0x1414)
and the data (which has been 0x00000100). Having searched this error and
found basically nothing, this may be important in determining the
problem that causes nouveau to hang.

You can try xf86-video-nouveau-9999 from the x11 overlay, if the problem
still exists with that one, it is probably best to report a bug on
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ too.

Tomorrow I will report the bug to freedesktop.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear in my original post. Since reporting the
bug, I have installed all-9999 packages from the x11 overlay (including
xorg-server, xorg-drivers and xf86-video-nouveau, etc. are all 9999
versions) and the problem still occurs.
