Description:    Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
Release:        13.04

lubuntu@lubuntu:/var/log$ apt-cache policy linux
linux:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.8.0.7.21

Upon booting(live CD), as soon as modesetting kicks in, the monitor loses the 
signal and goes black. Cannot switch to a VT, but keyboard does appear to be 
active, as Ctl-Alt-Del will cause a reboot. Booting with nomodeset works; I 
expect it to work with modesetting, too.
.
I'm seeing the identical problem with Fedora Rawhide (what will be F19) when 
using version 3.8 or 3.9 kernels. I tried a version 3.8 kernel with a working 
F18 installation, and same problem, so it's not something new in Xorg or the 
nouveau driver, but how they interact with the newer kernels. No problems with 
version 3.7 or earlier kernels.
