Have you tried "forcing" it to use nouveau (by removing nv or by
explicitely specifying nouveau in xorg.conf)? It would be interesting
to see what happens.
Aside from that, can you provide output of lspci -v, to see what
module is claiming it? Probably nouveau, and that's an explanation why
nv fails.
It is almost certainly nouveau, there's no real need to check. I need to
know the exact situation in order to figure out whether there's a bug
and where the bug is.
lspci -nn output would be useful. Are you _sure_ there's
no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ? The only chips that the auto-detect code
should use nv for are very old ones. Unless NVIDIA have started re-using
PCI IDs...
