There's not much hope if you intend to stay with Squeeze. If you're not
brave enough to blindly upgrade your kernel and the whole X stack to
sid, I would recommend trying a Live CD like Knoppix 6.4 or Grml 10.12
first. Both come with kernel 2.6.36 and a newer nouveau snapshot from
August 2010.
I tried with a squeeze live CD and got similar results. I wasn't able
to check the logs, though, because the whole machine was locked up. I
did manage to get a rainbow screen and a real mouse pointer.
I am downloading Knoppix 6.4.4 now.
Same results with Knoppix 6.4.4. Rainbow striped screen, mouse pointer,
and unresponsive system. I couldn't even ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a
terminal.
Is this a new computer? (Had something similar happen on my wife's
new PC. memtest86+ showed lots of errors, and removing one of the
DIMMs made everything work properly.)
