In my case, I never want the nvidia card to be running.  Would I load
the nouveau driver for the sole purpose of shutting down the card?  I
don't want X to be using nouveau; it uses my intel card without any
problems, and with a small fraction of the power consumption.  Does
nouveau work without X?  I'm not familiar with how it is split between
user and kernel space.
