I'm using xorg-edgers drivers from ubuntu PPA, that use to be quite new, just in case a fedora live cd also doesn't boot. Please ask if so can provide more info Thanks.

Secondly i notice the word "Optimus" in your log, which to the best of knowledge means that you have a mixed intel/nvidia system and the nvidia gpu doesn't have any outputs/monitors attached, only the intel. As far as i know optimus is not (well) supported under linux, but others might know more about that. In the meantime, the intel driver in principle should work (although the nvidia gpu may still be consuming energy and doing nothing) if this is really an optimus system.

We should initialise this to 0 really to avoid getting false positives.

And as the last comment says it's a mistake message, since I run a desktop with an off board PCI-E card. Is it possible that a newer kernel don't think I have an intel? Or there might be another issue not related to this? Thanks.

Since I got a kernel patch upstream I did the test to see if it was working fine and ended up noticing nouveau starting to work here...
