Sorry to have veered so far off-topic. I believe many -rt applications have programs in userspace talking to hardware (for example using a serial port).

Hm, that sounds like a reasonable request. Blacklisting a driver in modprobe.conf does not prevent it being loaded explicitly, and the nouveau driver in X explicitly runs "modprobe nouveau" if I remember correctly, so there should be no need to unblacklist nouveau, but there would still be a need to prevent the nvidia driver from being loaded and let X know what's going on. Does DKMS offer a way to build a module only for some kernels? If so, perhaps the nvidia X driver could be taught to take care of falling back to fbdev or vesa when the kernel-side driver is not loaded.

Be sure to attach full "dmesg" output from booting a working and non-working kernel when reporting it.
