Pls remember i am accessing this thread on my Lappy, but it is my Tower with the fault. I am now looking at Xorg.0.log (in /var/log) on my Tower's monitor screen ,but it is a big file & maybe some of it scrolled off the top, i don't know. Reading thru the visible text onscreen, i cannot see "nouveau" anywhere... but the text is mostly unintelligible to me, so it would be much better if i could show it to you... but how? I don't know how to copy this file from Tower's tty, to eg a usb stick that i could then move over to Lappy.
EDIT -- Aha, i found i can scroll down that file to reveal some more lines... & there are multiple references to trying to load nvidia & nouveau modules, also intel, but they all failed.
