KMS and Nouveau results in monitor losing signal

Hey i have been using arch for a while but this seems the best place to post this kinda thing.
I have been wanting to switch to wayland so in my new install i decided to install nouveau instead of the offical nvidia driver.
when i installed nouveau added in the kernal modual and rebooted. I got a black screen and my monitor lost signal but first it showed a line of dotted glitchy multicoloured characters at the top of the screen. I can only get it to boot with boot option nomodeset. I am using a gtx 970.
I have looked at the boot log and it seems to be nouveau is giving alot of information but i dont know what to make of it.

Any chance you're seeing basically the same behaviour as me?

If it is indeed the same issue, feel free to add your own system information (kernel, gpu vendor, logs, etc) to the bug report.
Maybe your system provides some new information that might help. You never know.. wink
