I tried without that as well but it still shows black screen. Should i post a

I did it with git as written at 
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/DebianInstall
The only thing i have not compiled was libdrm as the debian 2.4.21 version
seemed new enough.

Hmm, okay, thanks maybe later. Actually i just expected some speedup on xmoto
which does not use 3d as far as i know. I thought it would be faster as fast 2D
seems to be present in the nouveau feature matrix at NV10.
