You can safely compile a kernel without nouveau, your Nvidia card will not be used at all since neither Linux nor the proprietary nvidia driver does support optimus at this time (and frankly, I won't buy any further machines with opticrap). So having nouveau compiled and loaded seems like a waste of ressources in this case. For me it's important to have nouveau working, because I try/use Bumblebee and optirun: http://bumblebee-project.org/ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bumblebee
