what graphics drivers are now in use on this NVIDIA card?

Given the following /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which graphics driver is the X server currently using? This log is too confusing for me to parse (I had to snip hopefully irrelevant parts to be able to post the question):

Background: This question is on the back of Nvidia X Server flickers, hangs and segfaults on start-up. I am able to start X only if I install the proprietary Nvidia graphics for my graphics card (say, nvidia-304) in one kernel (3.2.0-23-generic), then boot in a different kernel (3.2.0-57-generic). It clearly uses some fallback driver, but I can't understand if it's nouveau or something else.






EDIT1:
As suggested:




liv@malou-laptop:~$ lspci -v
[..]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G86M [Quadro NVS 140M] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
[..]
Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb
[..]


But strangely, these modules don't seem to be in use:




root@malou-laptop:/home/liv# lsmod | grep -i nouveau
root@malou-laptop:/home/liv# lsmod | grep -i nvidia


Although they're clearly available:



liv@malou-laptop:~$ modprobe -l | grep nouveau
kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko
liv@malou-laptop:~$ modprobe -l | grep nvidia

kernel/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidiafb.ko
