I thought i replied a long time ago, sorry for that.

Please get vbtracetool (http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/DumpingVideoBios),
look at the QUICKSTART and get me two bios traces (normal and io) and a bios
dump. It's ofcource no garuantee, but i'll try to look at it. Note that
the
bios traces should be done while in text mode.

Sorry for being so incredibly slow, long story & I'll spare you the
defails,
but I finally got (new) hardware to test this on.

I've attached the BIOS & IO trace. The POST trace is available at
http://dev.exherbo.org/~ingmar/nouveau/

HTH,
Ingmar

A patch that makes things work, hopefully.

Give this a try, if the display starts acting crazy, then please turn it off.

Your notebook is rarity (not supporting ddc on lvds), so i have little to
compare against.
