Hmm, sounds similar to what I'm experiencing.  When you go into VC2 what does "lsmod  | grep nouveau" show?  I've found that I've
been having to manually "modprobe nouveau modeset=1" since doing my update about 4 days ago.  I'm not sure why nouveau won't load
and I find that if I don't set the modeset=1 when I do the manual modprobe that I still can't get X.
