At least, in older versions of kernel, nvidia driver and Xorg, nvidia 
hardware detection worked very well without trying to load the kernel 
module. But even if now it does not, there's still the question why the 
system keeps trying to load the module - I guess that just for hardware 
detection one unsuccessful attempt should be sufficient.
