Nouveau crashed and I posted here "2.6 Segfaults with : join_values_nofail:398 - failed to coalesce values" on 22nd February this year. I tried on and off during the year as new versions of nouveau were released, but no dice (the error message changed, I can't recall the details now.) Eventually I gave up and uninstalled fg round about September time. I have just changed cards and reinstalled fg (today) using the current NVidia blob. Still working my way through quite a few random segfaults - but it is a simple card (Geforce 210 with only 1gb of video ram) and may not be up to the job.
