[Bug 539878] Re: nouveau out of sync LVDS (basically card not supported)

[Verstraete Linard]

Done some more testing on the latest liveCD, didn't really solve the
problem though:

The breakpoint: "break=top" produced a type-able terminal to put
commands in. If I only would know which command I need to type to
continue the execution...

All the other breakpoints, like modules,premount,mount,bottom and init
resulted in either a static gray-screen with no VT's to type in, or they
had no effect and the liveCD booted the same fuzzy colored-screen with
probably should be the desktop... Probably because the breakpoints break
after nouveau has been loaded.

Boot-option "vesa video=vesafb" didn't had any effect.

Boot-option "rdblacklist=nouveau" didn't had any effect.

Boot-option "xforcevesa" is the first things that had a visual effect
after the console is gone. It resulted in a totally different, but still
corrupted screen, but I saw the same artifacts as some others on the
ubuntu-forums have posted (small red signs in the top 20 pixel-lines)

Anyone having some instructions on how to produce useful debugging info
so that the developers can fix it?
