Except that kent got a black display without it.
it will get rid of the framebuffer use/
here is one thing to try.
add the following line to the file
/etc/modpobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist nouveau
Note that this is not sufficient with the latest xserver-xorg-core, you
also need to specify a video driver in xorg.conf lest X will cause the
module to be loaded. Or remove the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package.
You are right I had done that too!
I needed to ban nouveau from the kernel, otherwise I could not compile my
binary Nvidia drivers...

I blacklisted the nouveau driver, but left the
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package installed.
There's simply something hokey about this monitor and Testing/Sid. All I
get is a black screen when I boot into a console or exit from X to a
console. However, if I type blindly and login and "startx", I get a
usable screen on one monitor only (the second monitor stays dark).
So now I have two issues:
1) in console, this monitor stays black or only displays about a 1/4s
worth of screen real estate
2) I no longer have dual-monitors.
I'd be happy to file a bug, but I don't know if this would be against
the nouveau package (which as far as I can tell focuses on X drivers,
not console drivers where the first problem is), or against the grub2
package which seems to have something to do with setting the console
resolution, or the kernel, or what.
I can live with rebuilding my box back to stable (at the cost of losing
the ability to print to my printer), but if I don't file a bug report,
how many other people will this problem bite?
Thanks for any suggestions!
