Creating a custom blacklist and updating the initrd solved the problem (I did not yet identify one specific module, so this might be more modules than necessary):
blacklist vga16fb blacklist rivafb blacklist nvidiafb So it seems /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf does not blacklist enough modules. My guess is that the framebuffer blocks the nvidia module from loading properly on the first try. -- nvidia module only working after gdm restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
