Right now, we have an extra step to install the Nvidia drivers in Milestone 6, including the removal of 'nouveau'.
Why extra step? Simply install the nvidia drivers and you're done. The priority for driver load in the Xserver is nvidia --> nouveau --> nv on NVIDIA hardware.
Are you sure ? http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2153575&postcount=5 Does not apply to openSUSE ?! Bye.
It is possible to disable something without completely removing it ... for kernel modules for example that's what the blacklist modprobe.d file is for ...
IMHO the problem is that you don't want to reboot into textmode after blacklisting nouveau just to install the nvidia driver then. And unloading the nouveau kernel module and disabling KMS in a running system is a little bit tricky.
