Interestingly, there was graphical failure booting 3.6.11, even nvidia-current fails to initialise, but these two issues could be due to running the Xorg stack in Ubuntu 14.04 pre-release. Using nouveau.noaccel=1 works great for the first X session, but after logging out, lightdm and the next session experiences this consistent screen corruption:

http://quora.org/nouveau-corruption.jpg Does that just happen in 3.6.11 or even in 3.13? If the latter, that. points to some key lack of understanding of... something. With noaccel, we're not using pgraph or anything fancy -- it's just a framebuffer, basically. So if we can't even render that right... Hopefully someone else will pipe up re your other issues -- my knowledge base on this is exhausted :( Interestingly, it turns out that the screen corruption occurs on every boot (booting with nouveau.noaccel=1 for now), and I can consistently work around it by one suspend-resume cycle.

Does booting with nouveau.config=NvForcePost=1 help?
