Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Alex Mayorga Adame:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/713781

[Problem]
Starting with 2.6.38-1, user reports X on -nouveau becomes corrupt (see attached screenshot).  This is a regression since 2.6.37-12

We had the reporter disable vesafb in case it was conflicting, but issue
persisted.

Our guess is it looks like nouveau is failing to find any acceptable
modes.

[Original Description]
Latest kernel update rendered X unusable.

I tried both 2.6.38-2 and 2.6.38-1 kernels but it didn't help. It still
shows the progressive line of pixels.  gdm and the desktop actually load
as I can hear the Ubuntu tune if I type my password and hit enter but
the video is garbled and only a line of pixels towards the top of the
screen can be seen.

2.6.37-12 works fine with no parameters and even some degree of video
acceleration.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while.
Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances
are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software.
Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9,
mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an
option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination
for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all
bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue
remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and
re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
