Bug#831685: blank screen with nouveau
Package: libdrm-nouveau2
Version: 2.4.68-1
When I boot, I see the sequence and logs, until at some point screen
gets blank with backlight off, like on standby mode, so I can't do
anything apart from rebooting.
If I put "nomodeset" on kernel command line, I can have Xorg running,
but only with the "vesa" driver.
On freenode#nouveau, I was told to blacklist nouveau in
/etc/modprobe.d, log "dmesg -w" and try to modprobe nouveau. When I
modprobed nouveau, the screen went blank so I had to reboot.
However, this was output to the logged dmesg when I did the modprobe:
