All of the following should be equivalent:
apt purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
aptitude purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

That's not good. Did it never work using Knoppix as well? Did you ever try any
Gnu/Linux distro that is neither Debian nor Debian-based? If never no matter the
distro, and if modesetting DIX fails as well, a bug should be reported.
