Bug#669306: Quadro 570: nouveau fails to enable any graphics at all



Jonathan,

I do have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf, when trying to use the NVIDIA driver I
enable the nvidia driver, when trying to use Nouveau I enable the
nouveau driver -- and reboot.  I know this is sort of obvious but in
this situation I think worth saying explicitly.

I did an lsmod and the nouveau driver was loaded when it should be and
the nvidia driver when it should be and the other was not loaded when
one was -- does that make sense?

In all situations to date SSH access via the network connection is
unaffected.  Also the virtual terminals Alt+F2 etc. were available.
