Xorg log

Hardware: MacBook Unibody (5,1) with nVidia 9400M

Software: Arch Linux x86_64 fully up-to-date with a custom built 2.6.32 kernel, xorg-server 1.7.3, xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.10 (git 20091207), nouveau-drm 0.0.15 (git 20091206)

Symptoms: as soon as the nouveau module is lodaded (in early or late mode) the screen's backlight goes off. The console is fully functional even though it isn't shown. As soon as X starts the light come back on and everything works, even though some artifacts are shown on the top before the login manager appears. Going back to a console with ctrl+alt+fn makes the cursor disappear, but the image doesn't change, and pressing ctrl+alt+f7 makes the cursor reappear and X refreshes again.

Possibly related: resume doesn't work, even with s3-bios, s3-mode and vbe-post quirks.

From your kernel config:
 CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=m

Either make that a build-in, or make sure you have the module loaded..

Gah! I thought fb would be enough... shame on me. Sorry for the noise.
