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

[Verstraete Linard]

Ehm, booting with only "nomodeset" results in the same crash as I
mentioned in Comment 6 (when booting with "vga=normal nomodeset), system
crashes during loading and the diagnostics leds are flickering as if the
are saying "Please don't do that again" :) So I can't get to console nor
desktop to install the nvidia-glx drivers...

Another thing I have found was that if I let it boot with default
options, it seems to get to the desktop (don't know for sure since I
can't read the screen, see screenshots ;) ). When my CD isn't active any
more I can get the system to reboot if I press the key-combination (for
Xubuntu): "Alt+F4; Right-arrow; Enter", which results in my screen
fading out and ejection of my CD, which if followed by an Enter-key-
stroke, the system will reboot. Also if I do the key combo: "Alt+F4; 2x
Right-arrow; Enter" I get the expected behavior of a shutdown.

And a final thing I found was that if I let it boot with default options
till there is no activity for my CD-drive, and I press any of the
Ctrl+Alt+F[1-9] key-combinations, it has no effect. So I can't drop down
to the console with Ctrl+Alt+F1 to have a look at any logs...

So if there is anything I can help with, just provide the instructions
or the relevant questions. More than happy to help out here :)
