shouldn't that be Driver "nouveau" ? ("nv" is an even older driver last
seen in squeeze) but that wouldn't even need an xorg.conf

This has only proved that 331.38 is running in a wheezy environment.
Vesa should work there as well. As I understood your problem so far it
is "all xserver video drivers result in a black screen in jessie".
Do you have a spare hard disk to make a minimal fresh jessie
installation (installing on a usb stick should work as well) and see if
you can get X running with vesa/nouveau (and nvidia afterwards)?
Thereafter compare /etc contents, maybe install the exactly same
packageset in the new install and look for differences.
