I tried Kernel 4.2 from backports, no dice, thing still crashes. How do I get the new version of nouveau? Backports does not seem to offer any newer version. I could compile nouveau from scratch, but it seems to be very complicated and hairy. I might also go away from nouveau and use the proprietary drivers again. Do you know a manual how to easily install them on Debian Jessie? I remember the process very painful from before, not knowing which version to take and the machine staying without X for a while, while X failed to start till I could fix it.
