Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Alex Mayorga Adame:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/713781

[Problem]
Starting with 2.6.38-1, user reports X on -nouveau becomes corrupt (see
attached screenshot).  This is a regression since 2.6.37-12

We had the reporter disable vesafb in case it was conflicting, but issue
persisted.

Our guess is it looks like nouveau is failing to find any acceptable modes.

[Original Description]
Latest kernel update rendered X unusable.

I tried both 2.6.38-2 and 2.6.38-1 kernels but it didn't help. It still shows
the progressive line of pixels.  gdm and the desktop actually load as I can
hear the Ubuntu tune if I type my password and hit enter but the video is
garbled and only a line of pixels towards the top of the screen can be seen.

2.6.37-12 works fine with no parameters and even some degree of video
acceleration.
