In the thread 'Who's moderating this forum? ", On Sat, Jul 17, 2010 at 5:12 PM, Darr <d...@core.com> gave a few suggestions to remove the Nvidia driver and to make Nouveau work.
Since somebody from Nouveau told me on this list that installing Nvidia drivers is not a one way ticket that will prevent users to get back to Nouveau and that RPMfusion should provide instructions to remove kmod-nvidia, I'm following the instructions provided by RPMfusion. The instructions are the following: Disable or uninstall the nvidia driver It is possible to disable the driver without uninstalling the nvidia package. nvidia-config-display disable rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf Or you can switch the Driver field from nvidia to nouveau in /etc/X11/xorg.conf You also need to verify that /boot/grub/grub.conf doesn't contain nomodeset or rdblacklist=nouveau anymore. Then you will need to reboot. (or switch to init3 and manually unloading/loading modules.). Once done, if you really want to uninstall the driver: yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia\* livna-config-display http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#head-3fe8fc42e24a89aff36645e27644b1f6445a9ee6 ============== Here's what Darr suggested: > Did you undo the other steps, such as removing the blacklist > in /etc/modprobe.d/ and/or any parameters added to grub.conf > (e.g. rdblacklist=nouveau) ? As you can see, Mr Chauvet, who wrote those instructions, didn't ask to check anything in /etc/modprobe.d/ . So, I didn't. > Did you remake the initramfs file with dracut (or mv the > original one made before the kmod-nvidia drivers were > installed back to its original name) after undoing those steps? As you can see again the word initramfs doesn't appear anywhere in the instructions provided. For now, I only tried to disable kmod-nvidia and, as you can see here: http://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/rpmfusion-users/2010-July/000702.html I didn't have much success. Maybe the kernel panic was due to something I did wrong, but I retried and I suppose things should have worked afterwards. They didn't. > Since the steps/methods vary according to whichever procedure > you used, generic 'undo' instructions (other than "undo all the > steps of the procedure[s] you followed") is pretty-much impossible. I've used RPMfusion's instruction to install and I'm asking RPMfusion instructions on how to uninstall. If you want to make suggestions, you may write to Nicholas Chauvet at: kwizart at gmail.com<http://lists.rpmfusion.org/mailman/listinfo/rpmfusion-users> Thanks for your contribution. I'm sure that with all the competent people on this list, RPMfusion will soon have some fine instructions to remove the kmod driver on its site.
