Temporarily disable nvidia driver on Debian Stretch

0

What is the correct procedure of temporarily disabling the nVidia driver in Debian Stretch (without removing any of the nVidia packages). I would like to test the Nouveau driver, and quickly switch back and forth to the nVidia driver.

(I could probably have this answered on IRC , but I prefer to ask here in case anyone else is interested in this question as well)
