Would you be interested in trying this?  I suggested using an updated X
stack from squeeze-backports[1], but an alternative simpler way might be to
use a wheezy live cd[2].

That's still not fixed.  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.
Relevant patches:

 8128b68f2be9 UBUNTU: SAUCE: Nouveau: Add quirk framework to disable
  acceleration
 f5acd7e8280b UBUNTU: SAUCE: Nouveau: Disable acceleration on MacBook Pros
 3f73ec32ebf3 UBUNTU: SAUCE: Nouveau: Disable acceleration on GeForce3 cards
 3bd800d631a9 UBUNTU: SAUCE: Nouveau: Disable acceleration on 6100 cards

Please attach your kernel log, lspci -nn and Xorg log.
