In the dmesg log provided nouveau is not loaded (remove nomodeset from the kernel command line) 2. Please (re)move the nouveau_dri.so file, as 3D is not supported. Most likely the issue is unrelated to point 2, but without a comprehensive log (see point 1), nothing decisive can be said. As a possible "fix" take a look at Forcing Modes [1], and select a lower resolution. (the list can be seen in your Xorg log) [1] http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting
