Not using any of the "nvidia" related modules etc. CONFIG_AGP is set. lsmod | grep nouveau nouveau 895494 2 ttm 67720 1 nouveau drm_kms_helper 38367 1 nouveau drm 258311 4 nouveau,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 5122 1 nouveau mxm_wmi 1769 1 nouveau wmi 9036 2 nouveau,mxm_wmi no other hardware other than built in intel hda sound, ahci disk, and marvel GB NIC's.
