Description limaunion 2011-03-09 10:50:21 UTC

Hi! I'm getting a black screen _inmediately_after_booting_ the Linux kernel, being unable to access any tty console nor X11 (of course ssh is ok).

I'm running a self-compiled kernel from vanilla (2.6.37.2) and am trying to switch from the NVIDIA propietary driver to nouveau.

I've followed the following instructions in order to enable the required kernel settings:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Nouveau (the real distro I'm using is Debian testing)

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but let me know any other information required.
Thanks in advance.

You used very old version of libdrm_nouveau/ddx (0.0.15 ABI as shipped by Debian "ancient" aka "stable" ;) with new kernel (0.0.16 ABI). You need to upgrade libdrm and  xf86-video-nouveau.
