Actually, the full output (as an attachment) would be helpful.

I see, thanks.

Could you try nouveau again using this information?  This experiment
would be using the usual 3.2.y-based kernel from sid or wheezy.  It
works like this:

 1. Run "update-alternatives --config glx" and choose "mesa".
 2. Temporarily comment out the "uvesafb" line in
    /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.
 3. Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf,
    and /etc/modprobe.d/uvesafb.conf temporarily out of the way.
 4. Blacklist nvidia in /etc/modprobe.d.
 5. Reboot.

To restore your old settings:

 4^-1. Unblacklist nvidia in /etc/modprobe.d.
 3^-1. Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf, /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-common.conf,
       and uvesafb.conf back into place.
 2^-1. Uncomment "uvesafb" in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.
 5^-1. Reboot.
 1^-1. "update-alternatives --config glx" again.

Curious,
Jonathan
