That's true.

Try to read and understand LFS before posting things like this. LFS
does *not* use initrd by default, even though a user may do that for
himself. We also generally have users minimize kernel modules.
Xorg modules are different from kernel modules. There is some kernel
support needed for the nouveau drivers, but not for the nv driver.
Drivers for Xorg can be specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but whether
that's needed depends on the needs of the user. Most of the time
defaults are OK. One thing that can be tried is to set the driver in
xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
