When I change my the xorg.conf to use the nouveau driver rather than the nvidia one I get the following erro:

Any Ideas what It may be?

Can you load nouveau module after installing nouveau-drm and nouveau-firmware (if needed), and post dmesg output ?

davidm · 2010-02-13 17:02:48

Make sure you have removed any proprietary Nvidia drivers completely from the system (unless you really know what you are doing). Removing them from xorg.conf isn't enough. That is possible reason for the error. Also you need to make sure you enable KMS as mentioned in the wiki.

I should explain more. The remnants from the proprietary nvidia driver can interfere with proper loading of the nouveau driver.

davidm's suggestion sounds correct. I would like to add that it may also be necessary to add

blacklist uvesafb

to the file /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.conf .

Thanks, I had to 'rmmod' to the 'nvidia' module.
