Title:
  modesetting fails; no signal to monitor

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Upon booting(live CD), as soon as modesetting kicks in, the monitor loses the signal and goes black. Cannot switch to a VT, but keyboard does appear to be active, as Ctl-Alt-Del will cause a reboot. Booting with nomodeset works; I expect it to work with modesetting, too.
  .
  I'm seeing the identical problem with Fedora Rawhide (what will be F19) when using version 3.8 or 3.9 kernels. I tried a version 3.8 kernel with a working F18 installation, and same problem, so it's not something new in Xorg or the nouveau driver, but how they interact with the newer kernels. No problems with version 3.7 or earlier kernels.
