I add blacklist to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
I edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg

then
/grub-2.00/grub-install /dev/sda2

I unpack grub2 with tar.gz in this folder and work from here.
GRUB1 does not work from my system because of errors 1023 and I solved it installing GRUB2.
editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg is directy configuring grub. There is no update-grub. /grub-2.00/grub-mkconfig makes new config.
But topic is about nouveau deleting.

But nouveau still loading. I try to do as in http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-driver-825432

sudo dracut -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

I backuped initramfs-2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64.img of course
And when I do dracut as above I have all console on loading are black. Then I fork from GNOME and put backup to original file.

How can I delete nouveau or disable it.

P.S. Try to install NVIDIA by loading from backup CD
Installed normally but I can`t load Linux normally
"No nvidia graphics adapter probed"
Conflict of nouveau and NVIDIA

if you are trying to install nvidia drivers from manufacturer's website and disable nouveau, then follow these steps:

• open the file /etc/inittab and look for the line

id:5:initdefault:

And change it to

id:3:initdefault:

• Disable nouveau driver:

Open /boot/grub/grub.conf file and at the end of kernel row, add the parameters as shown

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 ....quiet rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0

• reboot

• Run the following commands:

# chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-<version>.run
# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-<version>.run
change "id:3:initdefault:" back to "id:5:initdefault:"

• reboot

Note1: make sure you have installed c++ prior to all this - yum groupinstall "development tools"
Note2: if you update kernel, then you to repeat these steps again once.

I do but nouveaus still exists and loading. ddc responded but no edid for dvi-i-1.
Do I need reconfigure grub after editing grub.conf?

there are lot of 'installing nvidia drivers' tutorials in the internet. most of them are very complicated. the one i recommended is by far very easy to install and free from hassle. i run CentOS 6.x with nvidia 9500 GT card and since 1 year (after several kernel updates), still i had no single problem. the link you provided is way too complicated.

I could install NVIDIA drivers. But I can`t disable nouveau.

did you add "rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0" at the end of running kernel version's parameter? if you did then the nouveau should be disabled.


in /etc/X11/xorg.conf under device section, what does it say?

sh: gnome-config: command not found

This is my Xorg.conf after all manipulations with installation and deleting. Alraedy I have nouveau and no NVIDIA and I can not log in graphical interface like after installation.

You are missing the appropriate syntax before your "rdblacklist..." string. There should be a "quiet" command there. Hence why it's likely not working for you.

avergreen7
this is a idiosyncrasy of RHEL6 / CentOS6 / SL6

the boot image needs to be rebuilt after blacklisting or removing "nouveau"
and BEFORE the .run can be installed

the plymouth bootloader needs nouveau
so black list it to use that
but removing is a bit better if one is going to use the NVIDIA.run

I can load without noiveau. And I install NVIDIA driver and I can run opengl test. But I can`t se resolution to 1280. I work with xconf.org, xrandr but there is still 1024 and 800 in my direction

this is a copy of my nvidia.run created SL6.4 /etc/x11/xorg.conf
I have no issues on my LCD

Have you tried the elrepo drivers? They do all the necessary blacklisting.

http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php

I've been using it for years now without any issues, and haven't had to do any manual intervention.
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

It's is not a "blacklist" issue
the 319 driver dose that , just fine

but the .run driver will NOT be used until "dracut" is ran

it is using the .run driver
OpenSUSE calls it " 'the hard way' ( that is not hard)"


the Kmod-nvidia is normally recommended if one is not going to use the Nouveau driver

unless one has been using the .run driver for years and it is what you are used to using

but RHEL6 added the nouveau driver and things got MUCH more complicated

------------------------------------

As to screen res

Streamc if your xorg.conf looks like mine

then you might need to add an option AND a subsection to the "screen section
-- something like this ---
