Please try version 1:0.0.16+git20110411+8378443-1 from unstable. If the problem persists, file a bug upstream (see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs for instructions). As a workaround, you can disable acceleration. E.g. boot with nouveau.noaccel=1 or set the "NoAccel" option in xorg.conf (see nouveau(4)).
