Okay, unfortunately it hasn't taken long to see a problem from nouveaux. While tailing syslog, I just noticed these messages cropping up from a few moments ago:

Any idea what these messages could indicate? ----- Original Message ----- From: Steven Chamberlain <ste...@pyro.eu.org> To: Mar Mel <marmel6...@yahoo.com>; 696...@bugs.debian.org Cc: Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2012 8:13 PM Subject: Re: Bug#696554: System freezes and lockups Hello, Just an idea of mine, but if this issue only happens after logging in (to gnome-shell?), perhaps you could try installing+logging into the xfce4-desktop? Just to see if that still triggers the nouveau bug. And then if xfce4 is stable, you could perhaps try `mplayer -vo xv somefile.avi` to see if that will trigger the problem instead. Thanks!
