Hmm, a blank screen is surprising :-) As regards this translucent console, I
don't understand -- how is it different to the normal console display? what
indication is there that you are in X and not still at the console?

I assume by this you mean that the console is fine after leaving X; correct me
if I misunderstood.

There seems to be a problem here -- all four of the nouveau dumps appear to be
made from the console, rather than from within X. If you were doing them blind,
is it possible that X had crashed? If you were doing them from the console
while X was running in order to see, could you instead leave the computer *in
X* and run the dump commands from another computer over ssh?
