I "wish" to not load the or even install the nouveau driver by default. I want to use the NVIDIA binary driver.
I have tried a number of things:
1) in my kickstart package section add the line: -xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
This did not work - it was still installed.
2) use the nvidia installer and it asks to create a modprobe.conf file to blacklist the driver. I said yes thats what I want. I verified the file being present and rebooted. The driver is still loaded "lsmod | grep nou" still showed it present.
3) I tried "rpm -e xorg-x11-drv-nouveau --nodeps". This seeming worked however the files for nouveau were still present. find / | grep nouveau showed driver files and more....
So - anyone know how to get this off of my machine??? I thought the "-" in the kickstart package section would work, but no.
Thanks so much for any thoughts.
