Doesn't the nvidia proprietary driver use KMS?
No, it doesnt and likely wont, KMS kernel symbols were GPL only last time I checked. I have never needed to set KMS on any maching running nVidia.
Surely having KMS enabled does not allow the kernel module loader to ignore the settings in /etc/modprobe.d/*. That would be madness. Of course, the modprobe.conf man page is rather oblique on what blacklisting really does: "the blacklist keyword indicates that all of that particular module's internal aliases are to be ignored." Not exactly the same as saying it will never be loaded... As to which file the 'blacklist nouveau' directive goes in ('nvidia.conf', as the nvidia RPM sets up and as I nave it, or '50-blacklist.conf' as is mentioned elsewhere) it should make no difference (if the modprobe.conf man page tells the whole story), as long as the name ends in .conf. All files in /etc/modprobe.d are equal. I see no other references to 'nouveau' in these files that might cause a conflict. So, the mystery remains.
