Could you try with the "nv" driver instead? You might have to take it
from experimental (xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.0.2-1).

By the way, I think these options are enabled by default.

You are using xserver-xorg-core 1.3.0, I guess this is the upgrade that
causes this problem, not libdrm2. The problem is probably that the
nvidia driver is not ready for this new X server. Could you try
downgrading xserver-xorg-core to testing 2:1.1.1-21?

I guess both these modules are provided by the nvidia package which is
probably incompatible with xserver-xorg-core 1.3.


So, if you want DRI and don't care about using an ugly binary driver,
try downgrading xserver-xorg-core to testing. If you don't need DRI,
just drop the nvidia driver and use the nv one (from experimental for
now, will be in unstable in a couple days).

Next step will probably be to reassign this bug to the nvidia driver and
pray...
