Felix, just a quick comment on your logs. I am no expert at all, but I noticed
something:

- xserver is trying to load the "nvidia" driver (binary driver from NVidia) and
fortunately it's failing to load it because it's missing (otherwise it might
conflict with nouveau); lsmod should not show that "nvidia" kernel module is
loaded; Xorg.log should not show that it is trying to load nvidia_drv.so
- xserver is loading the "nv" driver (successfully) and that could interfere
with nouveau. you should avoid loading that. use 'Driver "nouveau"' in
xorg.conf or otherwise remove the file nv_drv.so from
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers.

Summing up, only the following drivers/modules should be loaded when using
nouveau:

- kernel module (check with lsmod): nouveau, drm, drm_kms_helper, ttm
- Xorg module (check from Xorg.log):
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
