Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Alex Mayorga Adame:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/713781

[Problem]
Starting with 2.6.38-1, user reports X on -nouveau becomes corrupt (see
attached screenshot).  This is a regression since 2.6.37-12

We had the reporter disable vesafb in case it was conflicting, but issue
persisted.

Our guess is it looks like nouveau is failing to find any acceptable modes.

[Original Description]
Latest kernel update rendered X unusable.

I tried both 2.6.38-2 and 2.6.38-1 kernels but it didn't help. It still
shows
the progressive line of pixels.  gdm and the desktop actually load as I can
hear the Ubuntu tune if I type my password and hit enter but the video is
garbled and only a line of pixels towards the top of the screen can be seen.

2.6.37-12 works fine with no parameters and even some degree of video
acceleration.

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we
haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty
good
that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot.
(Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git
versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your
distro's
bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs
that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please
make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/
for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
