With my old GT 8500 GT, xserver 1.20 runs fine with the nouveau driver.

That's true.

"Segmentation fault at address 0x8" looks like a null pointer
dereference, but otherwise it's difficult for me to tell what is going
on.

Enable the unstable-debug repository[1] in your sources.list, if not
already present, and install xserver-xorg-core-dbgsym and
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau-dbgsym from there. Also useful might be
libdrm2-dbgsym, libdrm-nouveau2-dbgsym and libc6-dbg.
For getting better backtraces with gdb, see [2] and [3].
Good luck,
Sven
