Has the machine been rebooted? If you do lsmod |grep nouveau Do you still see the nouveau module? Does lsmod |grep nv Show the old nv module or nvidia? I'm wondering if it's necessary to reboot between after adding the blacklist line and before doing dracut. If you reboot and nouveau is not showing up with the 'lsmod|grep nouveau' above, then it may be worth trying the dracut line again. Also the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf would be good to see. -- imalone -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
