OK - I tested this out as prescribed. Here are my results:

Running with xorg.conf file that is _specifically_ set to use the nv
driver:
We try to load the nv driver and fail. No fallback to vesa. If we tried
to fall back to vesa, it didn't work.
Overall, I would call this a success.
Keeping in mind that we won't have an xorg.conf file by default, the fix
works as currently implemented (and should therefore work on the Live CD
and Install DVD). Explicitly configuring the nv driver, IMHO, _should_
produce a failure since it isn't supported on this card.
Yeah, I meant it to act this way when I wrote the patch, I just
described the test scenario wrong. Sorry about that.
And yes, I agree, explicitly asking for nv should fail, this is really
just about fixing the magic setup heuristic.
Thanks for testing! I should have an updated patch shortly.
