No, but here is a recipe for blacklisting nouveau: create a file with
extension .conf in /etc/modprobe.d and content "blacklist nouveau":
# echo "blacklist nouveau" > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
Specifying kernel parameters is different from one boot manager to
another, so I refrain from giving you a tip.

Here is a minimal one for the nv driver which should be sufficient:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Section "Device"
Identifier "n"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->
If the nouveau kernel module is already loaded, you need to reboot
(unloading it is tricky and can lead to a blank screen).
