Created an attachment (id=45692) --> (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=45692) Dmesg output with nouveau enabled
With kernel 2.6.38-rc2-Linus-00324-g70d1f36 (and earlier), running without a "nomodeset" option in the boot line results in a screen that appears to be sheared. From the colors, etc., it appears to be nearly correct.
The lspci -nnkx output for the device is:

--- Comment #3 from Simon Deziel simon.deziel@gmail.com 2012-01-24 19:07:35 --- I'm observing a similar issue with various kernels from 3.2 to 3.3rc1. This only manifests when booting a Xen dom0 without "nomodeset" so I'm not sure that's actually the same bug.
The console screen gets corrupted at login prompt but is OK before as boot messages are displayed properly. The video card info is :

--- Comment #4 from Simon Deziel simon.deziel@gmail.com 2012-01-24 19:45:48 --- Please disregard my comments (#2 and #3) as I'm looking at the wrong bug obviously. My problem is apparently solvable by https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/12/6/464 as outlined by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
