Let me start by noting that I'm unclear about the device configuration
file. On another disk on the same machine that I'm running devuan, there
is a Wheezy installation that has no no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory,
and off hand the configuration files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
don't have a Device section. I also run Wheezy on another machine, and
it has a 20-nvidia.conf file with a Device section. I don't recall that
I did anything different for the installations, but nevertheless one
uses the nouveau module and the other must somehow use a default Section
definition.

I did as you suggest, creating a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory and
putting into it a 20-nouveau.conf file with:

    Section "Device"
      Identifier "MSI NX 8500GT"
      Driver "nouveau"
    EndSection


For the Identifier I just put my card name as a guess. The Xorg log
shows that the nouveau driver loads and so I guess the Identifier works,
but not sure.

When I startx, I'm still in vesa (?) mode. The Xorg log file says it
is using configuration directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory. The
only error is:

    (EE) NOUVEAU(0): [COPY] failed to allocate class


don't know what this means, and the Xorg wiki site no help.

I did a # Xorg -configure to create a /root/xorg.conf.new. It has

  Section "Device"
    Identifier "Card(0)"
    Driver "nouveau"
  EndSection


When I do # X -config /root/xconf.new, I'm taken to a blank screen and
I'm hung there and so have to delete the xorg.conf.new file and do a hot
reboot.
