I "wish" to not load the or even install the nouveau driver by default. I want to use the NVIDIA binary driver.
We could approach the developers of nouveau with pitchforks and torches....
I have tried a number of things:
<snip> There was a blacklist of nouveau on my kernel line in grub.conf, and it still loaded.
- 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???
Try what I did: yum remove, which got, as a dependency, Jul 20 09:41:08 Erased: xorg-x11-drivers Jul 20 09:41:08 Erased: xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
I was puzzled to not that the former of the two is an rpm of zero bytes. <snip>
