You write that you (plural) don't look for 3D support while this is the *real* problem (and you test various things to see if you can get accelerated graphics [posts # .. .. .. ] ) since the nouveau driver is just not ready yet. If "we" just want to "boot" then switch back to the old way (like in Karmic) where driver X ( I don't know which exactly) is used. It seems simple enough till the nouveau driver works fine.
Are there other reasons to stick with the nouveau driver?
