@Cor: The nouveauquirk package is still in the PPA. Yes, you'll need to manually install the kernel, because the new 2.6.32-20 kernel has superseded it.

This will also be in an upcoming kernel upload if you don't want to manually install the kernel.

Your steps in (2) seem correct.

To the others:
I'm not sure where using “vga=...” is coming from. It's my understanding that the kernel no longer recognises those settings; instead, it's video= and kms drivers. Perhaps a dmesg from when you're booting like that would be helpful? I'd like to work out why disabling acceleration is no longer working for you.
