Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Using Ubuntu Natty up-to-date on a Dell Vostro 1500 with a GeForce 8600M
GT GPU. When I boot on the LiveCD or on a fresh install, nouveau seems
to load correctly but all I get is a black screen.

On the attached Xorg.log, the lines at 27.960 is when I press
Ctrl+Alt+F1 to see if I can get a tty (I still get a black screen), and
31.965 is when I Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot the computer.

Please let me know if you need additional informations.
