I tried that already, I added a new file in there containing only one
 line "blacklist nouveau". It didn't work. Do I need to do something
 special after creating this file? (regenerate something, add it
 somewhere else to make sure it is used...)

 Note also that installing the nvidia-glx adds a file in
 /etc/modprobe.d that blacklists nouveau, and I still get the problem
 with the nvidia-glx package installed.

 So blacklisting nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d doesn't seem to be enough.
