You should try to identify the problem with nouveau in case a simple fix
(e.g.,
using modeset options as in this nouveau bug
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100228>) is available.

Using a VNC server as suggested in another response allows you to have X11
apps
running across logouts and can reduce the pain while you troubleshoot
nouveau.
If your system also has integrated graphics and a simple fix may be to turn
off the
Nvidia graphics.
