Yes, and unfortunately there's nothing in the journal that points to what that is. The first message mentioning the Nvidia module happens, looking at the timestamps, at the same time as all the other devices are discovered and the drivers loaded (intel sound chip, usb, etc). > If you drop the aliases again and instead create > /etc/modules-load.d/nvidia.conf with the content "nvidia" to have to > module autoloaded on boot - does this work?

(Requires the nvidia kernel module to be > loaded before X is started) Yes, the tests I've done were without any xorg.conf configuration. Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
