Adding blacklist=vga16fb nouveau.noaccel=1 works. Desktop is up and running. I'm using FireFox now to update the comment.
The transition from the splash (plymouth? Ubuntu with the dots underneath) to desktop wasn't an issue. Screen went black for a couple of seconds and then desktop appeared.
Attaching dmesg and X org log again in case they help.
