if you picked the desktop task, you probably got the
xserver-xorg-{input,video}-all packages installed, pulling all
drivers. X works without any configuration in almost all cases now, so
having no xorg.conf is not an actual issue, and should not lead to
such issues.

That doesn't exactly tell us what happened before you tried the
nvidia/vesa dance. That vesa doesn't work is “normal”, since it
detects Kernel ModeSetting (KMS). Not sure how to disable it for
nouveau, but you could try replacing vesa with “fbdev” in your
xorg.conf for now (and make sure xserver-xorg-video-fbdev is
installed).
Please also note that installing nvidia stuff makes our life harder…
(it diverts some libraries/files).
