NVIDIA driver in Sid

Posted by Nick L

After updating debian sid, the propriatary NVIDIA driver no longer loads. Its because the kernel is now built with 'nouveau' support.

nouveau is an open source kernel driver for the nVidia cards. Its not quite as fully featured as the propriatary one, and since I want the 3d support, I'm stuck.

Just

echo 'blacklist nouveau' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

To prevent the nouveax module being loaded at boot
