that line means you're not loading nvidia opensource driver which is
used as driver for the framebuffer therefore is loaded at boot time and
after that it's not possible to unload it .
It also lock X resources so even if you do a modprobe nvidia X will be
using nouveau driver; same happens with radeon driver
Solutions to this is to blacklist opensource driver or remove them from
the distro (not possible on the liveCD :-) )
