Using 20120929 on a GeForce FX Go5200, no luck. For grins, I tried various boot parameters and got nouveau's output to dmesg and the Xorg log for each of them.
Of these, the following failed to produce a visible X: live http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254953/ live video=ofonly http://paste.ubuntu.com/1254998/ live video=offb:off http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255057/ live video=LVDS-1:1024x768-32@60 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255066/ live video=VGA-1:d video=TV-1:d video:DVI-D-1:d http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255076/ These gave me "8 bit graphics" and blank dialogs (see http://imgur.com/ArhrV - scrot doesn't show it being so bad), i.e. an unusable install: live nomodeset http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255047/ live nouveau.modeset=0 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1255013/ I'm wondering if the issue isn't the SMP kernel. I didn't set that up, it just ran that way.
