Thanks for your input. All the items you mention were covered at some point in
the discussion.
Armin confirmed that all the software components associated with the nouveau
driver were performing as expected - at least as far as he could tell from the
logs.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the installation.There seems to be
something wrong with the way the nouveau driver communicates with my particular
GPU. The card doesn't appear to recognize the signal(s) that are sent to it and
without a signal it will simply cycle through red, green blue and white.
The nouveau site says that drm.ko must be loaded before nouveau.ko so I was
going to check that this happens in my case.
regards
jb.
