It appears that nouveau was already blacklisted, I forgot I had installed bumblebee some time ago... So I did various tests to make sure that the Xorg fallback failure wasn't related to bumblebee. It isn't, it keeps failing. I tried also with nouveau enabled again but it didn't change anything. FYI I did ran the initrd command after enabling it. Now the system is in the situation where nouveau is blacklisted again and bumblebee is removed (I�reinstalled bbswitch though).
