Bug#691068: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: freeze (except mouse), Segmentation fault at address 0x300000008

[amarao <amarao@desunote.ru>]

ok, I've done testing:

1) removing Option "GLXVBlank" "on" from xorg.conf remove hangs on old 
driver.
2) Putting back that option and compiling new nouveau from link below fix 
hangs.

 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau                     1:1.0.1-4

Some strange side effect: there is small colorfull noise between location 
changes in game. Kinda unusuall, but don't crash or broke anything.

Outside that all other works fine.
