What incantations does one need to use and how many times does one need to wave a chicken foot while doing so to get rid of the nouveau driver in Milestone #2, please? :-)
I want to install nVidia driver 319.23 but it won't "go in" because the nouveau driver refuses to be dismissed even though I have removed it using YaST and it is blacklisted in all the right places. :-(

I have not had a problem using the blacklist. # cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-disable-nouveau.conf blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0# cat /50-disable-nouveau.conf blacklist nouveau options nouveau modeset=0
Thanks for this, Sid, I don't have a 50-disable-nouveau.conf but the disable is in 50-blacklist.conf. But I will now create this 50-disable-nouveau.conf and see what happens.
319.23 module fails to build. There is a patch (http://pastie.org/7942599) to allow it to build for the latest kernels. The patch is called " pastie-7942599.diff". Referred to on https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/543728/linux/building-nvidia-driver...
Regards Sid.
I've had no trouble with compiling the 319.23 with the 3.9.x kernels at all, and if I remember correctly I even compiled it with the Milestone #1. It's with M#2 that I am having a hassle for some reason because I cannot get rid of the nouveau driver.
Let's see what happens when I create this 50-....file.....
Well it seems that the blacklisting nouveau driver does not work because even with the blacklisting files created by the nvidia installer itself do not 'remove' the driver because one can reboot and login into the system with the nouveau driver still active.
Bummer......

The README.txt has a section on blacklisting nouveau which also mentions a problem if initrd was generated with nouveau and the need to regenerate initrd without the nouveau module. May be that's where the problem is. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
