That description sounds exactly like you were *not* using the nouveau X driver.
What you describe is what is expected from using the VESA and FBDEV drivers, the
fallback you get if you use nomodeset or nouveau.modeset=0 to boot, or if the
nouveau kernel driver is blacklisted, or if NVidia drivers and their
configuration
files have been incompletely purged.
