As suggested in the OMV forum by Ben79, I would like to comment that an
alternative way to get nvidia drivers loaded at boot is blacklisting nouveau.
This option has consequences that probably should be considered in a possible
correction for XFdrake.

Following tips from Crisb at bug 1935, I blacklist nouveau editing the file 

/etc/default/grub

to insert xorg.blacklist=nouveau

and update-grub2

After that, nvidia drivers got load without editing xorg.conf.

If blacklisting is an option for XFdrake, it should be remember that after
booting kernel files with nouveau modules are erased. Nouveau files are
installed with the kernel package at,

/lib/modules/4.8.8-desktop-1omv/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm

and are lost after rebooting with this blacklisting option. 

This means any attempt to go back to nouveau drivers will result in black
screen again if kernel/nouveau files are not restored.
