Xorg.log when the problem occurs

Hi,

I've a strange problem:

When I load nouveau at boot it doesn't load correct. X doesn't start
(see
attached Xorg.log) and the resolution of the console doesn't change.

When I start X with the nvidia driver first, then go to a console, stop X,
unload nvidia module, load nouveau -> nouveau does work.
When I just load nouveau without that nvidia stuff before nothing works.

Kernel: 2.6.34-gentoo
xf86-video-nouvea: 0.0.16_pre2010051
x11-base/xorg-server: 1.8.0
x11-base/xorg-drivers: 1.8

According to http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting Nouveau do not
coexist nicely with the BLOB.

Could you completely remove the proprietary driver (see basic questions 3. and
5. in aforementioned document) and see if you can load nouveau and start X ?

Sorry for that.

There was an old nvidia module which were loaded at boottime (without mentioned
anywhere) and therefore it doesn't worked.
