dmesg's output

The problem appeared when I upgraded to the 3.7 kernel.

I have to specify 'nouveau.noaccel=1' otherwise X is not reached.

There's no problem visible in your dmesg now. Could you please post your dmesg output when acceleration is not disabled?
Comment 2 Bastien Dejean 2013-02-05 17:17:30 UTC
I'd be willing to, but:
- The screen is garbled with and without acceleration.
- When acceleration is disabled, the boot process interrupts: I can't
  read anything though and I don't know how to get debug informations
  under those circumstances...

If you compile nouveau as a module, you will probably be able to get it from /var/log.
Comment 4 Bastien Dejean 2013-02-15 16:42:08 UTC
Are there instructions on how to compile it as a module?

What should I look for in `/var/log`?
Comment 5 Bastien Dejean 2013-03-19 11:33:47 UTC
Tried again with Linux 3.8.3: I could boot without `nomodeset` but the pointer icon, in X, was cropped. On the next reboot the screen was garbled again.
Comment 6 Ilia Mirkin 2013-08-24 21:52:52 UTC
Does this still happen with the latest kernel (3.10 or 3.11-rc6)?

Yes (3.11).
Comment 8 Ilia Mirkin 2013-09-27 01:56:49 UTC
Please supply a kernel log for a recent kernel, without nomodeset or noaccel (i.e. a boot that exhibits the issue).

Potentially relevant -- also make sure you have a recent DDX (xf86-video-nouveau).
