First, you did mean to put `nouveau.noaccel=1' on the kernel line
right?

I forgot one aspect of having `nouveau.noaccel=1' on the kernel line.

It fixes my goofy screen problem but it does cause bootup to go into
maintenance mode.  Telling me to enter root passwd or press C-d.

I press C-d and it finishes booting up normally.

So it means I cannot have an unattended bootup, but that is usually
what I do anyway so not a huge problem, but wondered if there might be
some other way to disable acceleration that on the kernel line?
