Ah! Thank you for the hint.
By setting atomic=1 for nouveau it works.
But similar to i965 case, after boot complete
it only shows systemui + navbar + black background
Besides, it's quite unstable.
I tried to do something (move mouse, press some keys)
then system_server crashes.

Will do. Thank you!
