b3nn0, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

NVidia Fermi GPUs fails Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hello, I thought this bug would be well known, but it seems not to be. When I try to boot precise (happens with the installer, too) with my GTX 570, it fails because of nouveau. The Nouveau version shipped with precise seems to be too old to handle the fermi chip correctly and the screen stays black. Booting with the nomodeset parameter fixes the problem and boots in VESA mode (but at least it is usable). Manually updating to the latest upstream kernel from kernel.org fixes the problem (I don't think that xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is really the affected package, but I don't know any better, sorry :/ ) The bug is also described here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43029 and there is also a dmesg from booting with nouveau and a video showing the problem. Possible fixes: 1: Backport whatever made it work in later kernels. 2: Detect fermi (I don't really know if all fermi cards are affected) and use VESA instead of nouveau if fermi is detected. Please tell me if you need more information.
