Uninstalling xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau does not seem to remove it. Adding
"blacklist nouveau" to /etc/modprobe.d blacklist file does not prevent it
loading.

Thanks,
Graham



You must turn off the modeset. After blacklisting nouveau, I add
nouveau.modeset=0 in the Grub command.

Now, when your system boots up, you can install an ATI or Nvidia
proprietary driver minus any error messages.


Cheers!
