Maverick RC won't boot with modesetting

[michal.gregor]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Maverick RC (and daily builds till this point) won't boot with modesetting enabled.

It starts booting, plymouth displays correctly on external monitor, which has smaller resolution and incorrectly on the internal monitor, where it displays in the same resolution as on the external monitor and the rest of the image is corrupted (shows black, white and coloured dots).

In the next stage, where the login screen should appear the display becomes entirely corrupted (again showing black, white and coloured dots) and the system freezes completely.

My laptop uses Nvidia GeForce GTS 360M.

This used to work well with nouveau in lucid.
