The nouveau driver is a bit buggy, one of the most annoying bugs
for me: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640464
And I wonder whether
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=689514
is related.
Both problems are 100% reproducible on my two machines (both having
a Nvidia card and the nouveau driver from Debian/unstable).
Unfortunately it is not possible to try the nv driver on a recent
system.
