I have an old machine that I use as a "testbed". I've installed 13.2 (32 bit) on it and trying to configure it. It has relatively old GeForce FX card (5xxx) that does not have driver in rpm repository for 13.2 (why?) (it should be 173.something), so I had to go "hard way". I added "blacklist nouveau" to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf and modeset.nouveau=0 to the grub2 line, but the nouveau is still loaded (as shown by lsmod). (The options added automatically by NVidia installer did not help either: it actually creates separate conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with blacklist nouveau and option modeset.nouveau=0).
Is the recommendation in SDB:NVIDIA_the_hard_way obsolete? Anyone has experience with removing nouveau driver in 13.2?
try to add nomodeset to grub.
Not sure what nomodeset has to do with removing nouveau? Long ago I had to use nomodeset for NVidia 92.xxx driver (even older card), otherwise X wouldn't start. But in this case, as other guys explained, I had to re-build initramfs... and find out that the 173.xxxx series of NVidia drivers is not supported for new kernels (>3.15 something) and xorg (>1.12 or something like that).
