[Mageia-dev] NVidia fallback to Nouveau after latest Kernel updates

[Robert Fox]

This was fixed once, but since the latest kernel updates (3.3.0) - the problem has returned:


Since last Cauldron kernel update, I have two nvidia based system which
now fallback to nouveau when starting X - stating nvidia cannot be
loaded.

checking in dmesg - I see that the nouveau driver grabs the card before
the nvidia driver can - but trying to remove the nouveau driver wants to
remove over 800 packages!

How can I get the nvidia proprietary driver back??

Thx,
