Were there any errors reported while running those commands? Has the
machine been rebooted?
If you do
lsmod |grep nouveau
Do you still see the nouveau module?
Does
lsmod |grep nv
Show the old nv module or nvidia?

I'm wondering if it's necessary to reboot between after adding the
blacklist line and before doing dracut. If you reboot and nouveau is
not showing up with the 'lsmod|grep nouveau' above, then it may be
worth trying the dracut line again. Also the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
would be good to see.
