[Bug 1020012] tumbleweed cannot unload nouveau from kernel

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1020012 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1020012#c1 Takashi Iwai changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |tiwai@suse.com Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #1 from Takashi Iwai --- If nouveau driver is used for the primary output (not as a hybrid GPU render), it also serves for Linux console framebuffers, e.g. for VT screens, thus it's really being used even when you don't run X. You can unbind it via sysfs, but you'll lose the graphics completely. If you don't want nouveau, just try to blacklist it in modprobe.d/*.conf. Or just pass nomodeset boot option, then you can unload it freely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
