In particular, when I modprobe "nouveau," the display goes black (but doesn't enter power saving, so there's a signal of some sort). After doing some searching, I found http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting If I unbind the nouveaufb driver, the console starts working again. If I re-bind it, it freezes. Other than the display not showing anything, the system seems to run properly. So clearly, this seems like a handover problem. Any suggestions for things I should try? I am using plain VGA right now, which should work according to the page. I currently have fbcon and nouveau modularized, but I'm going to try compiling them in just to see if that helps. Since this is my main machine, I'd like to get X working first and foremost, and then I can tweak things afterward. --xsdg
