This may not be specific to nouveau after all; I get the same result, but maybe for different reasons, with nv (and kernel booted with nomodeset parameter). Attached Xorg.0.log.old is nv on dom0. But what happens there seems to be different: keyboard-related error, and maybe nv just fucks up the switch back to the console. xserver-xorg-video-nv version 1:2.1.17-3 -- Lionel
