KWin looking for Nouveau, but there is *NO* nouveau

I'm using the Nvidia proprietary driver. KWin though seems not to understand that.

1) I have no Nouveau (xf86-video-nouveau) packages installed. Only the in-kernel included module
2) It is blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d

flamelab@kobol ~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf 
blacklist nouveau

3) I have a 20-nvidia.conf just to tell X to use NVIDIA not NOUVEAU.

flamelab@kobol ~ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau_blacklist.conf 
blacklist nouveau

But no, Kwin wants NOUVEAU....

flamelab@kobol ~ $ kwin --replace

Re: KWin looking for Nouveau, but there is *NO* nouveau

do you still have kde-unstable enabled? in there kwin is compiled with gles2 support.

just disable kde-unstable and do pacman -Suu

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yes, true. I downgraded and it's ok again.

But, yes, with gles2 support, does seem not to want the Nvidia driver.
