[Bug 556872] Re: [lucid] [nouveau] blank screen on Dell Latitude E6410 (NVS 3100M [10de:0a6c])

The blank screen is caused by the nouveau BIOS code not understanding
the 0x3A opcode.

Support for this opcode has been added in
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/commit/?id=877c1854cbc3f72c5e9948e5ff5a8f7e9d874d2e
. This patch has not made it into 2.6.34, but it is in 2.6.34-git16.

I can confirm that with the 2.6.34-git16 kernel with nouveau included,
the screen no longer blanks on startup, and X works with the non-
proprietary nouveau driver out of the box.
