Adding blacklist=vga16fb nouveau.noaccel=1 works. Desktop is up and running. I'm using FireFox now to update the comment.
The transition from the splash (plymouth? Ubuntu with the dots underneath) to desktop wasn't an issue. Screen went black for a couple of seconds and then desktop appeared. Attaching dmesg and X org log again in case they help. ** Attachment added: "dmesg with blacklist=vga16fb nouveau.noaccel=1" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/41681981/dmesg -- Screen corruption on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/542950 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
