--- Comment #2 from Mike <storkus at storkus.com> ---
Update: my laptop's display totally died yesterday--no backlight OR anything
displayed in reflected light.  Booting in Vista (which I had saved on the old
hard driver that came with it when I replaced it with an SSD) didn't change
anything.  Vista showed no monitor present other than the external one I had
connected, which it read as PnP generic.

One oddity: both Vista and the BIOS Int13 displayed on an external SVGA monitor
just fine, yet Slackware 14.1 updated to 3.14.12(?) would not--yet some Nouveau
versions, including 3.10.17 that came stock when Slackware 14.1 came out, did
just fine as I was using Nouveau at a couple of LUG meetings talking to a
projector.

Anyway, at this point I think its near-impossible to state whether Nouveau
screwed with something in BIOS it should have, or this was an intermittent
hardware failure that coincidentally started when I upgraded to kernel 3.14
(stranger things have happened), or what, but at 7 years old, I've been
thinking for a while of replacing this laptop--guess I have a good reason now.

Marking this resolved-invalid unless any of you can think of a reason why not.
