In addition to this:

1) Identify your video hardware.  Use "lspci -nn" for this.

2) Check for any missing firmware.  Use "dmesg | grep -i firmware" for
   this.

   If there are any missing firmware files that the kernel wants to use,
   figure out which (non-free) package they're in, install that, and
   reboot.

The OP mentioned "nouveau", which means an nvidia device is in play.  This
means it may also be necessary to install some proprietary nvidia drivers.
We won't know for sure until we know which device it is.
