Yes. To start X with the nouveau driver:
1. Run "update-alternatives --config glx" and choose "mesa".
(Both nvidia and nouveau should be able to cope with the mesa
glx implementation.)
2. Install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau.
3. Move /etc/X11/xorg.conf temporarily out of the way.
To restore your old settings, move /etc/X11/xorg.conf back into place
and run "update-alternatives --config glx" again.

I'd still be interested in seeing how well we can get nouveau to work.
Thanks for your patience.
Sincerely,
