Is this happening with libdrm 2.4.60? If so, that's a known (user-side) issue and should be fixed by using any version but that one.
What's the freedesktop bugzilla # for reference?

I believe it's this one
Not really a world of choice on ubuntu to fix it though...
deckard@aineko:~/Development/projectara$ apt-show-versions libdrm2 libdrm2:amd64/trusty-updates 2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 uptodate libdrm2:i386/trusty-updates 2.4.60-2~ubuntu14.04.1 uptodate

That's unfortunate. I know next to nothing about debian/ubuntu or how they do versions or how to even build packages for them. But they're big distros, presumably they have support teams of some sort, perhaps they can help you.
Assuming that switching away does resolve the issue for you, perhaps you can also recommend that they avoid shipping that version, or include this nouveau fix in it:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=812e8fe6ce46d733c30207ee26c7...
Fwiw debian has been tracking this as #789759, and they are shipping 2.4.62 which includes the fix.
Unfortunately the LTS version of Ubuntu (trusty) was updated to 2.4.60 several days ago without this fix.
I repackaged libdrm 2.4.60 with only the bug fix above and confirm the patch above fixes the observed behavior in freedesktop bug# 89842/ debian bug# 789759.
I pushed the repackage to Launchpad PPA @ ppa:phurley/libdrm
Hopefully the Debian maintainer grabs this fix and updates the official distribution version soon.
