Could you post your dmesg output (or /var/log/kern.log from last boot)
after nouveau starts to misbehave?
I think I'd have to email it to you because it's more that 50 KB. Is that
okay?
Sure, no problem. Note that you can always compress the log. xz -9 can
work very well. I only

CONFIG_DELL_WMI is set as a module. I don't see CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP
Anyways, you can try adding acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor to your

I installed the latest git versions of libdrm, mesalib and the kernel modules
from the nouveau wiki site.
I blacklisted the nouveau module so I could boot the machine. KMS is therefore
enabled.
When I do modprobe nouveau or startx I still get the cycling of the colored

did you update your init ram disk?
it will be necessary since kms runs from the very early stages of the
boot process...

Have you ever tried using nouveau with Ubuntu? Did it have same behaviour?
No, I've not messed around with Ubuntu at all. I don't think I have the

Hm. I've never seen most of the stuff you have there. But from that, I
see the laptop is Dell. Have you selected laptop extras like WMI and
such in your kernel? Also, it would be nice for you to build udev from

And blacklisting nouveau does not disable KMS, it just disables the
