years in past i have had exact this situation removing nvidia prop drivers and put a amd gpu in, it will not work, do not ask me where the problem was, but nvidia has blocked something to fallback to an standart driver. i only remember i have searched long to find what it was..... :-(( (i for sure would find it this days faster :-)) never used any nvidia again, even if they build nice hardware.
I guess that's the good lesson. I've use ATI/AMD proprietary drivers as well as nvidia proprietary drivers and would always remove the drivers before a hardware change. I've done it on openSUSE and on Arch and haven't had any issues. If I recall correctly, the issue with nvidia is it is not compatible with the fbdev frame-buffer. I'm not sure if it removes it, but uninstalling nvidia must revert it or it wouldn't be rpm compliant (may just rename it and restore it with some post-remove script) That should be sound advice on any major hardware change -- remove proprietary drivers for hardware that is going to change. Change the hardware and hit the power button. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
