This version of xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is linked against a newer
libdrm-nouveau which breaks the ABI and is not compatible with kernels
<= 2.6.33. You need to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.34-rc1 or newer.

That should show up automatically on package installation if you have
apt-listchanges installed (which you really should).
