Could you try booting the kernel in experimental? Without X, since the kernel ABI changed so that won't work anyway, but just loading nouveau.ko should do the modeset dance and either give a black screen or a working console. I've (finally!) gotten the chance to test this system with a new kernel. I booted 3.0.0 from unstable but still get the same 'video mode not supported' message from my monitor when the nouveau module is loaded. An update on this... the situation is the same with Linux 3.1. I also swapped out the monitor without any luck. Finally, I booted the Fedora 16 live CD and got the same 'video mode not supported' message. -- Sam Morris s...@robots.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Please open a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorgcomponent=Driver/nouveau (there's no separate component for nouveau drm afaik) and attach kernel logs from a boot with drm.debug=6.

Putting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=nouveau.modeset=0 in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub prevents nouveau from operating, however Xorg falls back to the vesa module rather than nv, making the system very slow to use.
