Yes, they seem to describe the same thing, maybe you should merge 595477. > > The mouse pointer is distorted and the desktop difficultly usable, so > > that, in absence of suggestions, I will switch to vesa drivers. > > Try disabling acceleration (e.g. boot with nouveau.noaccel=1), it will > be very slow but should at least support the 1900x1200 resolution on the > external display, something you probably won't get with the vesa driver. I tried also /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf options nouveau noaccel=1 and then /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf options nouveau nofbaccel=1 but the results are worse in both cases: no text is readable, even in tty (and I had to blindly write to get back to original status). I guess that "boot with nouveau.noaccel=1" is equivalent to what I've done. Thanks anyway.
