xserver-xorg-video-nv package

Is it possible to force ubuntu 10.04 NOT to use nouveau?

Asked by Wawrzyniec Niewodniczański

I try to prepare pressed installation for some desktop machine. The main problem i have is nouveau X.org drivers. I manage force to use vesa for kernel, but I got blank black screen just after entering Xserver. It's not only problem for preesed but for each way of installation.

If you right click the item and remove it, it should leave one. Looks like you have 2 indication items added to your panel.

You can boot to root recovery mode and run:
sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

To remove it, or run:
echo "blacklist nouveau" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf

To simply blacklist the driver.
