dmesg output

I have been unable to get a working TTY when using nouveau on my GTX 1060.  I
have been booting straight to TTY and the TTY flickers and blacks every few
seconds.  When my Ultrawide monitor is detected as the primary monitor, I also
see colored artifacts on the screen.  However, when I launch sway or a
compositor, the flickering/artifacting mostly stops, but the compositor seems
to be unstable.

I am testing with Arch Linux 64bit with Linux kernel 4.13.7, package version
"1.0.15-2" for extra/xf86-video-nouveau which is current with Arch Linux extra
at the moment.

I have attached the EDID information for both of my monitors obtained via /sys.
 I have also attached `dmesg` output from booting into nouveau and running into
this issue.

Here is a link to the VBIOS that I have copied from /sys:
https://xannode.com/vbios.rom

Monitors connected via DisplayPort:
Samsung U28E590D 28-Inch UHD LED-Lit Monitor
LG Ultrawide Monitor

One interesting part here:

[    7.578995] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: 0x00006465[0]:
INIT_GENERIC_CONDITON: unknown 0x07
[    8.057232] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: disp: outp 01:0006:0f84: link rate
unsupported by sink

which happens every few seconds. Probably related.

Verbose dmesg output:  Booting with only LG Ultrawide

On this run, I only had the LG Ultrawide monitor physically connected to the
machine.  After the bootloader and a few (5-10) early console output lines, I
lost video signal to the monitor.

Verbose dmesg output: Booting only with Samsung 4K

In this test, I booted with only the Samsung 4K monitor attached.  There was no
flickering or artifacting in tty and no visible problems in sway.

I wont recommend using/keeping the GP106 (GTX 1060). It cant ever run with free
software:
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/04/15/nvidia_gtx_900_linux_driver_roadbloack/
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nouveau-XDC2017
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nouveau-XDC2016-NVIDIA

Sell this crappy GP102 card away and go away from nvidia. Nvidia died with the
780ti card. Its the last end-user card that can be used normaly. Everything
else is in some countries even a legal problem. Because the manufacturer
(nvidia) blocks the users from beeing able to boot the software they want on
THEIR hardware - happyly illegal in some countries. Hopefully some layer would
sue the heck out of nvidia so that they would have to release the private
signing key or close their doors.
Blocking the freedom of the users on such way should not be accepted by anyone.
