Re: Why has nouveau vs. NVIDIA problem not been addressed?

2018-11-15 Thread Adrian D'Costa
Sorry. I don't want to put anybody down. I love Debian Gnu Linux.

But why isn't there an easier way to disable nouveau-module?

Why do we have to open the black-list file with the text editor like nano
and blacklist it and sometimes still it isn't enough?

Why has nouveau vs. NVIDIA problem not been addressed?

2018-11-15 Thread Adrian D'Costa
I can disable nouveau-module and do a workaround by recompiling the kernel
and copying the nvidia.ko module to /lib/module and do modprobe nvidia. And
I am using proprietary NVIDIA driver for Linux on Debian flavours. I found
this works for my machine.


Why can't both of them coexist with each other?
