Rebooting (since this appears to rely on kernel modules) doesn't  
change anything [I'd like to try a "zypper up" but since zypper is  
currently broken as well I can't].

In dmesg, at boot I see -

NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  285.05.09  Fri Sep 23  
17:31:57 PDT 2011

How can I just fall back to the nouveau driver?  I tried removing all  
the nvidia related packages, reinstalling the  
xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau package from the DVD, removing  
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, but X still fails to start.
