This is why I posted this bug, because nouveau doesn't work properly with this nv28m chip and I wasn't warned nvidia-96 was going to be removed when installing HWE Stack. So after heavy sweat I had to go back with a working xorg, although cat /etc/issue still shows 12.04.5 and I went back to 3.2 kernel.

However nvidia-96 fails to reinstall and the system is just OK for booting in tty lowgraphics mode. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
