Earlier you mentioned 
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting

did you check the section that applies to this error?
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/TroubleShooting#Xorg_fails_to_start_with_.22.28EE.29_.5Bdrm.5D_failed_to_open_device.22

At this point I can only guess there is some mismatch between your 
kernel and Xorg. I would suggest you try to reproduce this on a pure 
Debian install[1][2], but if it works there is not much more we can do.

[1] you mentioned using gNewSense
[2] you are of course aware that Debian with only 'main' is free

Kind regards,
Andrei
