 Posted: Fri May 13, 2016 5:01 pm Post subject: How to disable nvidia module on my dual graphic card system |
 |
|
Hi,
I have x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers emerged on my system. But I do not want to load the nvidia modules. I added
blacklist nvidia
in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
But the nvidia module is still loaded every time. Any idea?
Thanks~

From man modprobe.d :
| Quote: |
DESCRIPTION
Because the modprobe command can add or remove more than one module, due to modules having dependencies, we need a
method of specifying what options are to be used with those modules. All files underneath the /etc/modprobe.d directory
which end with the .conf extension specify those options as required.

Yes, it is "blacklist.conf". Sorry for the confusion.

Is the module loaded when the system starts, or when Xorg starts ?
Try this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you don't have one, create it) :
| Code: |
Section "Module"
Disable "nvidia"
EndSection
|
This disable the nvidia module autoloading when xorg starts.
More info in man xorg.conf. |
