Created attachment 44445 [details] dmesg output My monitor is usually connected to my computer with a DVI cable. When using nouveau and the DVI cable, the monitor goes into sleep mode (and doesn't wake up, like when the computer is off) as soon as grub finishes loading the kernel (and the boot process starts). I can't even get a tty. Yesterday, while testing a Fedora 15 Alpha LiveUSB, i switched the DVI cable to a VGA one, and to my surprise, it worked perfectly. so today i managed to get a log, by booting with only DVI connected, and only after the boot process is complete (i knew it was complete by hearing the annoying gdm "boop" sound, a sound it does when it starts) connecting the VGA (to get the output).
Created attachment 44446 [details] Xorg.0.log you can see that Xorg detects my monitor, and it knows that the monitor is connected to the DVI port.
It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report. In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one. Thanks, The Nouveau Team
