This is a complain about nouveau... not nv driver. With nv driver I
have a working X, no KMS, but a working X, with nouveau driver the
follow error is displayed.

It's a distro, not fedora, or debian, is chesX.

Anyway, let me update. This night ymanton from #nouveau helped me with
this problem, we could find that some libraries were linked against
wrong libdrm and that I should use dri2 and fbcon wasn't being loaded,
now its built in the kernel and I made some changes to nouveau driver
installation.

Now when booting I have a fb console and when drm nouveau assume the
box hangs, only a cursor ("_") is displayed in the top left of the
screen ... no special log is displayed, actually the logs looks okay,
only this is shown inside gdm log, /usr/X11R6/bin/X: symbol lookup
error: /usr/X11/lib/X11/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so: undefined
symbol: BEGIN_RING ... this is the last line

Sorry if I was rude to any one, was not my intention, and thanks for
you attention to my problem.
