Neither modesetting nor nouveau will function if nomodeset or nouveau.modeset=0 is present on kernel's cmdline, while either of the latter two is required for any nvidia proprietary driver to function.

This paragraph is confusing to me. You say that for the nvidia proprietary driver to work, one needs either "nomodeset" or "nouveau.modeset=0" in the kernel command line? Well, I use neither: Isengard:~ # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.27-2-default root=UUID=0d457df1-b43d-4587-aa5a-6c919bcbedb8 ro resume=/dev/sda2 splash=verbose showopts Isengard:~ # -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
