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

[Verstraete Linard]

\o/ Somebody how actually knows what's going wrong, great. I'm willing
to provide you all the information you need, but since I don't have much
experience in these kind of things (I know that if I install jockey-gtk,
I can play movies on my screen) I will need some advice on what I need
to do...

I have found what a mmiotrace is: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace, but I have no idea how to retrieve the trace from the running liveCD, because I always end up with and unusable screen. So my questions are:
1) If I'm running the liveCD and it let it screw up my screen, how can I drop down to the terminal to copy the file to my USB-stick?
2) In the documentation of the kernel (/ Documentation / trace / mmiotrace.txt) I read that "Tracing is disabled by default", so how do I enable it on the liveCD?

3) I have found that nouveau is part of the libdrm. So why is it that if I'm in the menu option of the liveCD and I choose the bootoption "nodrm" I still get the issue?
4) You say you have exact same issue. Does this mean that the status of the bug should move to "Confirmed"?
5) You said that you are working with upstream, but this bug isn't linked to a remote bug-tracker. Is there somewhere I can follow the discussion upstream in some sort of forum-thread / bug-tracker / IRC?
6) Is there any change this will be resolved before the launch of Lucid Beta 1? Because this will spook quite a lot of people if they just want to launch up the beta to see how thing are going.
