One thing I didn't check before sending my last mail: can I go back

Unfortunately this doesn't work: be it from Fluxbox or KDE, when

nv or nouveau?
running nv (X) with nouveau kernel module is unsupported
Running nv (X).
I understand that running nv (X) with nouveau kernel module is unsupported,
but if a nVidia GPU is detected the nouveau kernel module is automatically
loaded during startup (unless blacklisted, of course).
This don't prevent to run X with the nv module (in a distribution in which
nouveau (X) is not available, for instance), but going back to console mode
doen't work in that case.
Is there any way to make it working, as some distributions do not include
(yet) all components needed for nouveau (mainly matching libdrm and X module) ?
I'm not aware of any trick to make both nv and nouveau working.
Maybe there should be a way to prevent nv (and vesa, but not fbdev) from loading
when KMS is in use?
Anybody knows one way to do that ?

I'll will try with fbdev then.
Done, I confirm that there is no problem here to go back and forth (console
mode vs X running) with nouveau kernel module and fbdev X module loaded. I
tried with Fluxbox, KDE and XFCE.
