Thanks Taylor, I still consider this a bug because this didn't happen for years but seems to happen every time I boot since 3.1.
Another workaround is to disable kms by booting with the nomodeset option.
Another new issue is that my mousepointer frequently flickers/disappears and that xv video out in smplayer doesn't work anymore, but both of those are with the nomodeset option, have yet to test with kms enabled again.
FWIW, KMS never worked for me (on a desktop, though). The board has a nvidia chipset. All the characters on the screen were displayed "giant mode", ie. I could see only the first few of them, but they were inches wide, with large pixels. So I had to append "nouveau.modeset=0" to the append line of the etc/lilo.conf. clemens
