Do I understand correctly that the system works fine until X starts
(e.g., if you use the "text" kernel command line option)? Does X with
the fbdev driver work? (You can test by putting the following in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.)
Section "Device"
Identifier "geforce"
Driver "fbdev"
EndSection
Does starting X with the nouveau driver work if you do not start a
GNOME session? (You can test by running "startx xterm" if the xinit
package is installed.)
Thanks for a clear report.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
