Instructions for testing a more recent kernel:

# prerequisites
apt-get install git build-essential

# get a copy of the kernel history, if you do not already have it
git clone \
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

# get latest rev from nouveau tree
git remote add nouveau \
  git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/nouveau/linux-2.6
git fetch nouveau
git checkout nouveau/master

# configure
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO

# optional: minimize configuration
# This works by disabling all modules that are not loaded,
# which are generally drivers for hardware you don't have.
# Make sure nouveau is loaded before doing this.
make localmodconfig

# build, test
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
reboot
