This could very well be. It's happened to me before.

That is very odd. I would have thought simply editing modprobe.conf to
change to 8776 and an X restart would be it. And I thought it only had
it listed once. The graphics switch command should have worked too.
Sounds like it tried but threw in nv which isn't what we want. There
has got to be a cleaner way of changing without reinstalling. Have you
by chance looked at your install.log located in /root to see if you
got a scriplet error when doing an initial install regarding the
nvidia driver?
