Re: [Mageia-dev] NVidia fallback to Nouveau after latest Kernel updates
yes and last night after installing the new kernel 3.3.0rc, dkms fails to build dkms-nvidia for this kernel. Cheers Xavier Le 06/03/2012 10:45, Robert Fox a écrit : This was fixed once, but since the latest kernel updates (3.3.0) - the problem has returned: Since last Cauldron kernel update, I have two nvidia based system which now fallback to nouveau when starting X - stating nvidia cannot be loaded. checking in dmesg - I see that the nouveau driver grabs the card before the nvidia driver can - but trying to remove the nouveau driver wants to remove over 800 packages! How can I get the nvidia proprietary driver back?? Thx, R.Fox

Thx, R.Fox You could try blacklisting the nouveau module - but that won't fix the underlying issue - it may however get you working as a temporary fix ;) Barry

I need the proprietary driver working correctly. So I need to know if something is wrong, so I can start repairing (or reporting). -- wobo

Seems this was not the problem for you, but my FX series card has had no nvidia available since x11 was updated before Christmas. I think I need a new graphic card :( Well, I don't know, but after last update tonight (mirror sync status 23:01 Paris time) the complete system which was working fine is now hosed anyway. 1. Nouveau driver still there (although I tried with XFdrake to get the nvidia re-installed), but that did not make my system unusable before 2. wifi connection totally lost (not possible to get a connection, whichever way I tried) 3. After system start the system now displays a message that it can not start Gnome 3 because my graphic system is possibly not able to run in normal Gnome 3, so it starts in a somehow compatibility mode. /etc/X11/xorg.conf shows that the nouveau driver is working, which never had problems with Gnome 3. 4. I switched to tty2, and was presented with my keyboard now writing in black! Trying to write 'asdf' does not show any character but hitting enter returns 'asdf: command not found Points 2, 3, 4 occurred at reboot after the update. I'll call it a day... After todays updates the issues are resolved: 1. After reconfiguring X and reboot the proprietary driver was accepted and Gnome 3 started without problems 2. After removing all net connections and recreating wlan0 (in MCC without enabling networkmanager) wifi is working again 3. Input on ttys is back to white on black -- wobo

It avoids a boot failure which would otherwise be the scenario. Reasonable behavior, so to avoid this the x11-server should always match the current proprietary driver. In other words: either one whould be fixed with coming updates. -- wobo
