Yes, nv is not compatible with KMS framebuffer drivers.  The only X
video drivers you can safely use once nouveau.ko is loaded are nouveau
(obviously) and fbdev.  There has been a thread about this issue on the
nouveau mailinglist recently, starting at
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/nouveau/2010-April/005477.html.
