</div>The main problem I usually had when switching from nouveau to nvidia or<br>
vice<br>
versa is the fact that nouveau is built in the initrd so that KMS can be<br>
used.<br>
<br>
If you want to switch to nvidia, you have to blacklist nouveau, and then<br>
re-<br>
generate the initrd<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Although I did blacklist nouveau, I didn't regenerate the initrd. Hopefully that fixes it.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

I *think* that the rpmfusion nvidia package already generated a<br>
blacklist-nouveau<br>
file in modprobe.d. I this is true, you'd just have to recreate the initrd<br>
with dracut.<br>
<br>
<br>
Here is the howto I found on rpmfusion :<br>
