I believe I followed the instructions at
http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2011/fedora-16-nvidia-drivers-install-guide-disable-nouveau-driver/
which are admittedly out of date.
I _did_ have a /usr/lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf, thanks for
suggesting that. I deleted it and rebooted: the updated kernel then
seems to have modprobe'd nouveau about 1/3 of the way through the
text-based progress bar and X.org did then use the Nouveau driver, use
the correct resolution, etc.
The text-based progress bar still bugged me though so I tried removing
the latest kernel again and re-installing it. That did it.
Everything works fine now. Not sure why I'd need to remove the newer
kernel again but it's all working.
Thanks Ed and Ahmad!

I tried Ed Greshko's suggestion of removing the bad kernels and reinstalling but I still end up without Nouveau support in the newly installed kernel.
I believe it's not a UEFI boot, it's a Dell Latitude D630.
I did notice when I boot the old, working kernel, I see nouveau in the output of 'lsmod' but I do not see it in the output of lsmod when I boot the newer kernel.
Any idea what that could be about?
I believe you said you installed the nVidia driver at some point. But, you didn't mention the procedure as to how you did that.
One question, do you have a /usr/lib/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf file or any *conf file in that directory that contains "blacklist nouveau"
