--- Comment #16 from Jamie Macdonald <jamie.alban at gmail.com> ---
I patched my kernel with this diff: http://pastebin.com/q3MVep1f

to screen the 9400m from being initialized.
this: http://pastebin.com/JMrbbFVA is the dmesg output. (search "jamie")

with this patch, my command line is *not scrambled* when I use
nouveau.noaccel=1, but crashes without that argument.

When I screen the 9600m from being initialized in the same way instead, the
console gets scrambled with nouveau.noaccel=1 and crashes without that
argument.

But, in the case of screening the 9400m, and using nouveau.noaccel=1, I cannot
start X - it gives a "No screens found" error. Using that patched kernel, and
trying to use the Nvidia proprietary driver fails as well with a "No screens
found" error - but the Nvidia driver works when I use the unpatched kernel.

And now I'm stuck .. any help?
