So in case of 3.9.7 your system seems to be detecting a ghost monitor, hooked
up to your DVI-I-2. Did I get that right?

I would suspect this ^^ commit to be the one causing the issue. Can you please
revert it on top of 3.9.7 and confirm ?
How many monitors does that kernel detect ?

A brief explanation what happens here:
Nouveau detects a phantom/ghost monitor hooked up to DVI-I-2, which on it's own
causes the DISPLAY engine to hang. Leading to the kernel being unable to change
the resolution(modesetting), and X failing to start and VT switch being dead
slow
