It seems to break things:

Re: Issues with X not starting with nVidia errors? Blacklist nouveau.
This is FUD,
nouveau is not included by default in 2.6.32, it is only in STAGING.
And probably in all distrib providing nouveau, you have to choose it / install it. Except in fedora maybe, which might have shipped nouveau by default for a while. I don't know how/if they offer to install nvidia.
Anyway in Arch, you have to install nouveau-drm manually.
That said, nvidia and nouveau indeed conflict with each other, and that goes both ways.
