[Nouveau] Display goes off when framebuffer enabled and Kernel Panic with fbset

[Emil Velikov]

Roger, looking at your logs it appears that you are still running an old  
version of nouveau

Make sure that you are running the latest git as it includes a few AGP  
related bug-fixes
Note that nouveau is NOT only a kernel. For more info on how to download,  
compile and install take a look at the wiki [1] [2]
