How can I remove the nouveau driver?
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.
If the X11 driver isn't actually on the system anymore, then the kernel module shouldn't be loading either, so that is strange.
But you can also uninstall the nouveau-kmp package(s) (there is one for each kernel flavour)
I don't think blacklist works the way you think it does. A module can still be loaded with its "real" name even when blacklisted - to fully disable a module through config files, you need to have something like "install <module> /bin/true" in one of the modprobe.conf files
I also think that the brokenmodules= boot option only works in the installer, not in the normal initrd

You must turn off the modeset. After blacklisting nouveau, I add nouveau.modeset=0 in the Grub boot options. Now, when your system boots up, you can install an ATI or Nvidia proprietary driver minus any error messages. It always works for me. I am using an Nvidia card. -- Cheers!
