Using ROAFs packaged nouveau - thanks ROAF!

Boot machine (context switch console to x) login via gdm on account1, logout
(context switch x to console) gdm restarts (context switch console to x) login
via gdm on account2, logout (context switch x to console) gdm attempts to
restart using nouveau but fails, Xorg eventually resorts to using the vesa
driver in lieu of nouveau and manages to start.

Will attach xorg log from sucessful start, log does not appear to be retained
on failed startup attempt - any suggestions on how to grab this appreciated.

This may well be a real bug in the drm, but all those vmware messages
interspaced with the failure to allocate memory make me nervous. Can you try
without vmware loaded to see if it makes a difference?
