I have an old but good graphics card, "NVIDIA Corporation GT200GL
[Quadro FX 3800]". The proprietary driver is EOL, not supported after
kernel 3.14.*, so I'd like to switch to nouveau. I'm having trouble
getting nouveau to work at all, it is giving me a blank screen and
apparently not grabbing my keyboard (ctrl:swapcaps has no effect).
Nothing stands out as errors in Xorg.0.log, same errors are both under
nvidia and nouveau, but nvidia gives me a useable desktop. Both seem
to detect my monitor (benq) correctly.

I'm running gentoo-sources-4.3.3 kernel with experimental feature to
select Haswell architecture. The host is a virtual machine running
under app-emulation/xen-4.6.0-r6. Driver is
x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.11, use-flag glamor enabled.
Have you passed the graphics card through to the VM?
Yes, it is passed through. No audio on the card, so there is only one
function, and X manages to get EDID data from the monitor, so there is
obviously some kind of connection in place.
Is the user trying to run the X server in the video group?
(pardon the LOCALE setting, should be intelligible none the less :-/ .

Grepping for "nv" just gets me a sata_nv
Systemd appears to complicate things greatly. Have you tried to use
startx?
Tried it now. Nvidia drivers gives me a useable twm , nouveau gives
med no signal to the monitor (goes into sleep mode immediately).

Can you attach x11vnc to the session (assuming that one does exist) to
see what would be on the screen from a remote machine?
If this issue last long enough, I'll try that. For now the proprietary
driver is working, even under recent kernels.
