You've got lines with "FBDEV(0)" scattered all over the file, so I'd 
assume that's what it's decided to use.

I would go with the nVidia proprietary driver.  Nouveau is something of 
a crapshoot, since it was reverse-engineered without the manufacturer's 
support, and your distro may not be shipping the most current version.
