http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Xorg/Nv/ is my data and logs collection since beginning to troubleshoot this.
hmm, this sounds like a graphics issue, please file a bug at freedesktop.org instead.
Yes it's a graphics issue, caused because the kernel won't load the nouveau kernel module.

I mean you should file a bug at freedesktop.org, the nouveau related bugs are handled there. This bug is closed.
And I mean this is a kernel module bug, not a freedesktop bug.
I finally stumbled onto https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ which does claim to be the right place, even though most of freedesktop has moved to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/ where I had no luck finding anything about nouveau. Sorry for the noise.
