Well, the problem is indeed in the graphics driver then, since "nomodeset" effectively disables it. Does it work with nouveau.noaccel=1 instead of nomodeset? > I attached the output when started with "nomodeset" as kernel boot > parameter.

Yes, because you then get to use the vesa driver for X which does not support modern wide screens. > Please let me know if you need any other information, I am happy to > provide what's needed. Do you have another computer where you can capture kernel messages via netconsole? A short HOWTO for netconsole is on http://blog.mraw.org/2010/11/08/Debugging_using_netconsole, also see Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt in the kernel source.
