[PKduck <jhnpwa@xxxxxxxxx>]

It is getting more and more confusing. Mainline 2.6.35 and 2.6.36 both
have this bug. It looks like if nouveau is loaded too fast, the console
won't be accessible.

Title:
  [Dell Vostro 3400] Cannot access the text console.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During a booting process, there should a "kubuntu" logo with 5 blinking dots since I am using Kubuntu. But it shows a black screen instead after loading the kernel and before Xorg started. Disabling modeset can get back the boot splash but lost accelerated 3D.
  After Xorg loaded, it shows a normal composited desktop with full hardware acceleration. But pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 will hide the mouse cursor and cause the screen to freeze. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+7 can switch back to Xorg. It is also true for live DVD or a fully updated(as of today) system.

  WORKAROUND: I get back the text console by doing the following:
  1) Blacklist nouveau
  2) Rename "/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko" to something else.
  3) sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
  4) sudo update-grub2
  5) Reboot.
