In an ideal world, I would suggest trying a current kernel from sid and following up with upstream. In the real world, the nouveau kernel driver broke ABI, so testing a kernel from sid on a squeeze system requires an updated userspace X stack. See [1] if you are interested in trying it anyway (works well for me, for what it's worth, though I was never affected by this bug). Regarding the workaround you mentioned: SAUCE: Nouveau: Add quirk framework to disable acceleration SAUCE: Nouveau: Disable acceleration on MacBook Pros SAUCE: Nouveau: Disable acceleration on GeForce3 cards etc It doesn't seem to be in Stefan's tree[2], so I don't think we have it. It might be worth pushing upstream and then applying to squeeze.
