Hello,
I've succesfully installed Arch Linux on a Lenovo Laptop. (W541). I've been able to get most stuff working splendidly with the excellent docs in the wiki.
But I have on little problem.
The system is set to boot in graphical mode and most of the times when I boot sddm hangs. I cannot move a mouse or enter a password. CTRL-ALT-F2 gets me to a terminal ,where I stop sddm, then unload the nouveau driver, then start sddm again and all is well.
So I want to permanently blacklist nouveau.
I tried creating a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf file with "blacklist nouveau" in, but that didn't help, and after a boot this file is gone.
I added rdblacklist=nouveau to the kernel command line. But nouveau is still there after I boot.
So how do I get properly rid of nouveau in arch linux?

I may be missing something but why do you have nouveau installed if you don't want to use it?
edit: If you just want to blacklist the module: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ke … acklisting

$ modinfo nouveau
filename: /lib/modules/4.5.4-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko.gz
....
$ pacman -Qo /lib/modules/4.5.4-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko.gz
/usr/lib/modules/4.5.4-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau.ko.gz is owned by linux 4.5.4-1

Hi!
To correctly put the driver nouveau in the blacklist is necessary to blacklist the following modules:
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist rivatv
blacklist nv
blacklist uvcvideo
I recommend to doing a file called blacklist.conf and put here the blacklisted modules. (In /etc/modprobe.d/)
Regards!

WRONG. Blacklist uvcvideo will prevent WebCam from functioning.

While you are right that this is an overkill of a configuration that will not solve the original issue, the thread is 4 years old and it's unlikely the OP is still searching for help with this after that time.
Closing this old thread.
