  In my case that did not fix

trabbi:~# lsmod  | grep nouveau

Do you really wish to remove all binary packages?
If so, use the --force option.
trabbi:~# m-a --force purge nouveau
nouveau, what is nouveau?
trabbi:~# rmmod nouveau
trabbi:~# lsmod  | grep nouveau
trabbi:~# reboot

  I still had the some issue.

  I used nv for many years. It was a lot more stable than the nvidia
  drivers. But then the upper echelons of power in debian decided to
  no longer support it in the testing distribution.  I am not
  complaining, I am sure they have good reasons.  But this is when the
  trouble started for me, the kernel module dunce. Every few months a
  new nvidia nightmare. This was the biggest of all, but there have
  been others.

  Thanks and cheers,
