You don't need to uninstall xserver-xorg-video-nouveau. Restore your backup copy of nf, or edit it to change the Driver from "nouveau" to "nvidia".

The minimal /etc/X11/nf file, which you should try, if you encounter any problems, is: Section "Device" Edit /etc/X11/nf to change the Driver from "nvidia" to "nouveau".
