/var/log/dpkg.log will probably tell you. But if you could tell me
whether you upgraded from a squeeze system to a sid system, that would
be OK for me.

If you don't know, look for the following package in that log file:
  linux-image-* (packages starting with “linux-image-”)
  xserver-xorg-core
  xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Until we triage it further (probably a bug in the kernel or in the
nouveau driver), you may want to try and use the fbdev driver
instead. Make sure xserver-xorg-video-fbdev is installed and specify
the fbdev driver in xorg.conf as described in:
  http://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/faq/general.html

Could you please explain a bit more details how it's garbled?

In the meanwhile, I'm reassigning this bug report to the nouveau video
driver, Sven will probably take you from here.
