papciopoli, 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.

I have Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT video card and IIyama LCD panel with the 1680-1050 resolution. This very annoying and long-lasting bug proceedes like this: 1. Fresh installation is made. 2. First reboot after installation is pending - BIOS works, but when it comes to the Ubuntu log-in screen the panel switches off. 3. I have manually through Ubuntu LIVE to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg file: the line 94 should look like this "ro quiet splash nomodeset $vt_handoff" 4. After the reboot the other files have to be edited: /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/00-headers as well as command update-grub be made... 5. The required resolution is given only after the installation of propertiary Nvidia driver. 6. And a short story of mine: a) I installed Lucid Lynx LTS in April 2010 and the panel switched off b) I installed Maveric Meerkat in October 2010 and the panel switched off c) I installed Natty Narwhal in April 2011 and the panel switched off d) I installed Oneiric Ocelot in October 2011 and the panel switched off e) I have installed Precise (sic!) Pangolin LTS in April 2012 and the panel switched off.
