Incompatibility of the last Rstudio version with the free drivers Nouveau de Linux

The last Rstudio version has a compatibility problem with the Nouveau non-comercial Linux drivers used for some linux distribution (e.g. Debian9).
The installation run ok and no errors were registered, but after some minutes of use the program simply closes and stops working, throwing the following error in console:

Some one found that the solution is the installation of the commercial drivers (Nvidia). But some computers has problem with this non-free drivers. Or the use of a previous Rstudio version.
Do some one know a different solution for this problem?

Do you have better luck if you run RStudio with:

QT_XCB_FORCE_SOFTWARE_OPENGL=1 rstudio

(and, if I understand correctly, there's some hope of this working in future versions of Qt)
