[Bug 528277] Re: screen goes blank when booting to live environment with some nouveau Graphics Cards

Moving to the kernel, sounds like a KMS issue with nouveau, nothing
casper can do here.

Title:
  screen goes blank when booting to live environment with some nouveau
  Graphics Cards

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When I boot up from the ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 live cd the screen goes
  blank after clicking "try ubuntu without installing".  This also
  happens when I try to boot after installing.  I believe this has
  something to do with the switch to nouveau as the default video driver
  for nvidia chips because I have the same problem when trying to boot
  Fedora, which uses nouveau by default as well.  Booting 9.10 and
  earlier causes no problems except I have to adjust the screen
  resolution each time I boot up.  I have a nvidia Geforce 6200 video
  card and am using a 2003 HP desktop attached to a 42'' LCD monitor (TV
  really).

  == Regression details ==
  Discovered in version: Development version Lucid Lynx; verified in Ubuntu 10.04
  Last known good version: Ubuntu 9.10
