Actually, this is a non-issue.  The rivafb module is a loadable driver, 
and does not conflict with the NVidia driver unless it's loaded, which 
it won't be because you're using NVidia.

I have an NVidia card and have always ignored the rivafb message.  No 
problems here, other than being very careful that I've recompiled the 
driver for any kernel upgrade.
