2.6.37 dmesg

2.6.36 works, 2.6.37 does not; issue is that internal display on a Dell
Latitude E6510 becomes blank when KMS is loaded - X thinks everything is fine
and keeps the monitor as the primary (I also have an external 22' Dell LCD
monitor as a secondary)

I wouldn't be certain this commit is the culprit yet.  That commit has a typo
which would also mess things up, and was fixed by
85341f27b49833325f97580edcd687b4d90bb30b.

ok, but neither 2.6.37 nor 2.6.38-rc4-git8 work for me, even if they have the
above commit.

You probably only mean that the bisection might be misleading due to the above,
but where does this leave me? what are the next steps I can take to get around
that (if any)? some git-fu pointers would be highly appreciated, as I'm just
learning the ropes...
In the meantime, I'll try building a kernel based on
85341f27b49833325f97580edcd687b4d90bb30b and see what I get.

ok, so you were right, 85341f27b49833325f97580edcd687b4d90bb30b works here.

I'll start a new bisect with 85341f27b49833325f97580edcd687b4d90bb30b as the
good and v2.6.37 as the bad and report back..another 13 steps..doh.

due some hardware related problems I had the internal display swapped with a
new one (the internal display was occasionally flickering badly), and now the
situation is completely upside down: 2.6.37 works, while 2.6.36 doesn't
anymore. 

The flickering display problem was going on for some time, even back in the
2.6.35 and 2.6.36 times, and it was manifesting even during BIOS POST, hence
the thinking that it was a hw problem.

However, now I'm thoroughly confused about the current situation. Is the newer
display different and triggers different (inverse) behavior? I can't see any
meaningful difference in dmesg output of 2.6.37 between working and non
working...

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
