Bug#804110: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: fresh install debian-8.2.0-amd64, Xfce yields black screen at login

Could you please start your system without X? On a standard Jessie
installation with systemd as init and gmd3 as display-manager, you can
add "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" to the kernel command line to
achieve that.

When I power-up, 'Debian GNU/Linux' is highlighted in the GRUB menu. I press 'c', get a prompt, and enter:

    grub> systemd.unit=multi-user.target

When I press <Enter>, GRUB gives me another prompt:

    grub>

When press <Enter> again, same as above.


Log in at the console and see if the nouveau kernel
module is loaded ("lsmod | grep ^nouveau").

If I let the machine boot by itself and then log in via SSH from another machine:

    root@i72720qm:~# lsmod | grep ^nouveau
    nouveau              1122419  2


It appears that the nouveau kernel module is already loaded.


Please advise.
