Actually, no. You can switch in and out of it. You'll still have problems with the X drivers from nvidia, though, even if you load the framebuffer module and then unload it. Basically the frame buffer drivers are in /lib/modules somewhere. They have names like: neofb, radeonfb, rivafb, etc. Just modprobe it to get into frame buffer mode for your card.
