I have a similar problem. I upgraded to discover 2 recently and noticed that it uses different configuration files. This as lead the module rivafb to be loaded again while I was previously using the (compiled by myself via the appropriate packages) nvidia module. This then caused the nvidia module not to load anymore. I haven't been able to find how to indicate discover not to load the rivafb module anymore, the docs are not really usable to me and putting "skip rivafb" in a lot of places where they seemed appropriate (the new discover 2 conf files) had no effect at all. So, in the end I resigned myself to a very dirty thing and simply erased rivafb.ko from my hard drive (it is in /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/kernel/drivers/riva or a similar path). This is clearly not a clean thing to do, but it works. I desperately searched for useful documentation about discover2 configuration, but this looks very clumsy and strangely organized to me.
