Well the nvidia binary driver can not be used after loading nouveau.
A reboot is required.

nouveau leaves the card in a state the nvidia driver simply doesn't
tolerate.

On debian the nvidia-glx package blacklists the nouveau kernel module
since they just don't work together.  It is one or the other in that case.

If you were switching between nouveau and vesa, then it might work.
Or two configs with different display options but the same driver choice.
