Software - Support / Re: Nouveau ----> Nvidia, trouble changing driver
« Last post by ro_sid on 2024/04/03, 01:33:11 »[...]I have never experienced such a result! Either "modprobe" complained in some way (e.g. no "such" hardware available), or the corresponding module had been loaded, though not necessarily being "in use" (i.e. a "0" and no "using modules" shown by lsmod).
The commandCode: [Select]modprobe nvidia-current
returns quickly to the prompt with no feedback or error message. However, lsmod shows no loaded nvidia modules.

I have rebuilt the initramfs at this point, but of course that has no effect.Well, if it (=nvidia(-current)) is (now) really included in the initramfs-image, you might be able to use the "module-load=nvidia-current" kernel option now with grub.
Once this really works as desired, we can get rid of all the grub options, because as @towo already pointed out, a proper install should set this up automatically. But first we need a proof of concept.

So, I am now officially in the nouveau-lovers club.Well, as far as I have read - but not experienced -, it should work fine as long as there is no "3d-fast-action" required (e.g. in games) and no GPU-computations or "-multi-media-live-decodings".
