If you want to blacklist nouveau, then you want to use the nvidia proprio.
For getting latest drivers (275.09.04) actually installed and working use the following path
Download the drivers from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/
then reboot with added to the boot line
nomodeset blacklist=nouveau 3
Login as root, then build the new drivers
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run
Follow instructions, and add the 32bits compatibility
Then the installer push automatically a file
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf
For me I remove that one and replace it by
/etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=33 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660
For xorg I didn't have a xorg.conf file I use the new xorg.conf.d layout
and have just added in 50-devices.conf
drivers "nvidia"

Oke,
I did all the steps except replacing and get now these error messages when starting x :
Fatal : inserting nvidia ….. no such device
(EE) NVIDIA : Failed to load the nvidia kernel module. Please check the
(EE) system's kernel log for additional errror messages.
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error,0)
(EE) No drivers found.
Can i repair this one ?

Check /var/log/nvidia-installer.log to make sure the module was built.
If it was successful there should be a file "/lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko".
I'm about to reboot and run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-275.09.04.run to see if
there is a problem.

Anyone know how I can blacklist the nouveau driver in M1 ?

Hello,
That did the trick.
I have now a desktop only problem is that it's the fall back gnome and not gnome3
This says glxinfo about it :
name of display: :0.0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
So i hope that I get Gnome3 working?

I am surprised the script didn't sort it out.
...
cat /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install
#!/bin/sh
echo "blacklist nouveau" > /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

# recreate initrd without KMS, if the use of KMS is enabled in initrd
if grep -q NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=\"no\" /etc/sysconfig/kernel; then
sed -i 's/NO_KMS_IN_INITRD.*/NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes"/g' /etc/sysconfig/kernel
mkinitrd
fi

Another quick way would be to remove the modules from /etc/sysconfig/kernel
