I'm trying to prevent next disaster with nvidia driver/kernel combination. |
| 2 |
I'm running "nvidia" driver and installed "nouveau" as module. If for any reason nvidia or nouveau will stop working I want to just run a sript and use other one. |

Here is my configuration: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf |
| 7 |
blacklist nouveau |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 10 |
Section "Device" |
| 11 |
Identifier "Nvidia card" |
| 12 |
Driver "nvidia" |
| 13 |
EndSection |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
eselect opengl list |
| 16 |
Available OpenGL implementations: |
| 17 |
[1] nvidia * |
| 18 |
[2] xorg-x11 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
In order to switch it to "nouveau" I would need to unload the nvidia module, but I can not do it when it is in use so I need to stop "xdm" first, am I correct? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/etc/init.d/xdm stop (X crashes at this moment) |
| 23 |
modprobe -r nvidia |
| 24 |
mv /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf_backup |
| 25 |
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_nvidia |
| 26 |
eselect opengl set xorg-x11 |
| 27 |
modprobe nouveau |
| 28 |
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf_nouveau /etc/X11/xorg.conf |
| 29 |
/etc/init.d/xdm start (at this moment I should have login screen) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Did I miss anything? Will it work if I put it into a bash script? |
