Thanks for the info, I ended up blacklisting nouveau for my single
system. Anyone have an idea where on a debian-related wiki this useful
and important info should go? I noticed debian-wiki itself is set for
lenny and I'd rather not pollute it with squeeze info.
I'm also more interested in a method of automating this change (at least
for me, I'm preparing a system install guide for lab machines that are
going to move to squeeze. I'd set up something like FAI, but I cannot
for the life of me grok the documentation).

The version of Nouveau (FOSS nvidia driver) that ships with 6.0
(Squeeze) on last week's (2010-10-17) testing disc does not play nice
with the Quadro NVS240 graphics card. No output on screen at all even
for a console (monitor goes to power saving mode). I had to get into the
box with the disc recovery option, and remove the driver from its
modprobe list in /etc just to get to a text console.
Mmmm, there must be an easy way to disable KMS and load "nv" driver
without the needing of uninstalling "nuvó" packages. I dunno, just asking
because I'm also interested in how could this be done.
Boot with nouveau.modeset=0 parameter or create a file in
/etc/modprobe.d that blacklists the nouveau module (see
modprobe.conf(5) for details). Create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf or modify
the existing one to use the nv driver:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Section "Device"
Identifier "n"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
