I had an 'empty' xorg.conf and the autoconfig listed in the log probing for 8 itens including the frame buffer :-) It saw this was a nvidia and include both drivers.
I'm not sure about 'rollback' without rolling back all of xorg.
I did try putting 'nv' in 50-device but that errored saying
[ 39.635] (EE) NV: The PCI device 0x10de03d1 (GeForce 6100 nForce 405) at 00@00:13:0 has a kernel module claiming it. [ 39.635] (EE) NV: This driver cannot operate until it has been unloaded.
Lines containing NOUVEAU(0): mean it's the driver in actual use. If you can't make them go away you won't get NV to work.
I ran lsmod and the nouveau driver was there dealing with various other things. I'm not sure how.
KMS does it. I spent most of more than two days last week trying to define a nouveau bug using a G84. Most of my systems use anything but NVidia video, so my nouveau experience is least of all the X drivers. Avoiding loading nouveau requires at the least putting nomodeset or nouveau.modeset=0 on cmdline, but may also require an initrd built with NO_KMS_IN_INITRD="yes" in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. Whether I tried modprobe -r nouveau at any point I don't remember, but may have been a workaround for needing a rebuilt initrd. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
