Feature changed by: Jon Nelson (jnelson-suse) Feature #310449, revision 4 Title: A simple way to turn off nouveau openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: nick skeen (ns89) Description: With OpenSUSE11.3 nouveau is used be default. In order to turn it off you must add nomodeset to the kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst and turn on no_kms_in_intrid in the sysconfig editor. So why not add a simple option on the sysconfig editor to do both? Discussion: #1: nick skeen (ns89) (2010-09-05 02:35:58) There are better steps on how to disable it here: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#1 + #2: Jon Nelson (jnelson-suse) (2010-09-06 15:48:27) (reply to #1) + That link doesn't contain instructions for how to disable nouveau + except that they are buried within instructions for how to install the + proprietary NVidia module. + + If you want to disable it, you don't need the no_kms_in_initrd thing at + all. Just use nomodeset (which you should add to + /etc/sysconfig/bootloader as well). + Having more than one way to do something frequently leads to all sorts + of problems. Have one well documented way. Using nomodeset should + prevent the module from loading entirely. + -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310449
