Output of dmesg
With nouveau on the graphics adapter on an HP dv2815nr laptop, both console and
X displays show an incorrect scan length with a resulting garbled screen.
The 'lspci -nnv' for this adapter is
00:12.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M

Kernel modules: nouveau
This device has never worked with nouveau on any kernel. I am trying to make it
work now as the nv driver is failing in certain cases, and fbdev cannot use the
optimum resolution (1600 x 800) for this laptop.
