Thanks.
Given up on Nouveau for now.
Running with the long duration driver from NVIDIA rather than the short
one as above.
Iceweasel does some segfaults and there is at least one page that
provoked a hang of the whole system, but mostly it is a joy to use.
The speed from a small SSD for system disk, and the big graphics card is
very welcome.

Looks a bit messy, because it is. Had so many problems recently with my
tortured Ubuntu installation I ended up purging PPAs, flushing caches
and ripping out everything until my system went back to "just working".
I'm adding stuff back in cautiously now so my workstation is a bit of a
mess at the moment.

everything.
I'd recommend going with the stock (proprietary) drivers on Debian, or
the xorg-edgers PPA if you're on Ubuntu/Mint. Forget Nouveau for a
GTX 970.
Cheers
