Graphics display on my Dell Latitude laptop makes it just about impossible
to read anything.  Blacklisting "nouveau" and using the "nv" driver makes
things work.

The graphics are hard to explain, but it's mainly a lot of vertical lines,
combined with a very fuzzy mouse pointer.  Some portions of the GUI display
fine.  For instance GDM3 is horrible, but the Gnome desktop looks normal
except for the fuzzy mouse pointer.

For the record, this bug is encountered in both Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu
10.04.  Both were tested with a live system.  The Squeeze system is up to
date.

thanks

Please boot with nouveau enabled anyway and use "reportbug -N 595447" so
that your logs are actually useful.

TIA,

Hm, I don't see anything unusual in them. :-|

You could do either of the following:

- Try xserver-xorg-video-nouveau from experimental.  This requires a
  newer kernel (>= 2.6.34), you can get 2.6.35 from experimental as
  well.

- File a bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/.  Use product
  xorg, component Driver/nouveau.  If you do that, please let us know
  the bug number.

Thanks,

I tried with xserver-xorg-video-nouveau from experimental, but I'm getting
the same bug.  (By the way, that package did not list a newer kernel as a
dependency, but I installed one anyway per Sven's instructions).

Some new information:

On the desktop (LXDE and Gnome tested so far), the only bug seems to be a
"fuzzy" mouse pointer.  GDM shows the same.  GDM3, however, is almost
unreadable due to lots of vertical lines on the screen.

Note:  I'm working on a different installation than when I first reported
this bug.  That's because I couldn't upgrade the kernel on my Debian Live
USB.

It is not possible to depend on specific kernel versions, we can only
document the need in {NEWS,README}.Debian.

Still nothing suspicious in the logs.  You may want to file a bug
upstream, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs for instructions
where and what to report.
