You can blacklist it in grub.cfg: linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 [...] nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau video=vesa:off In F19, this seems to work differently, i. e. the entries for the F19 kernels don't have these boot parameters. With NVIDIA drivers, you *must* have GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text in /etc/default/grub and it must be in effect. Otherwise timings can be screwed up and your X-session may crash. It crashes not right away but eventually, and you'll have a very hard time to figure that one out. (It's somewhere in the documentation from NVIDIA.) Other than that, if you don't have very serious reasons not to use the rpmfusion drivers but the original NVIDIA ones, you're much better off saving yourself all the hassle with the original ones. (Guess what, I even got UT2004 to work on F19, only it doesn't like the buttons of my trackball.)
