Alternatively, just install the package from testing.  It is not really
usable, however [1,2].

Won't happen in Wheezy, 8.1 release is still months away and Debian is

The 3D driver for your card is indeed known to be broken, but we cannot
easily disable it since it's in the same file as the working ones.

Try disabling AIGLX (see xorg.conf(5)), or, if that does not help,
enforce software rendering, e.g. with

# echo LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 >> /etc/environment
