And both nvidiafb and vga16fb are known make Nouveau misbehave: nvidiafb because it messes up the card state, and vga16fb because it does not do the fb driver hand-over, AFAIK.
Relevant or not, I'd like to advertise our new troubleshooting page: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting
I'm also adding the CCs that were dropped earlier.
Was the original question in this thread about nvidiafb or Nouveau?
