Dear Efrem McCrimon,

I don't understand your last post. You seem to suggest I blacklist i910, the
intel driver (as I did with nouveau) to have just one driver for the more
expensive nvidia video card and forget the less energy consuming intel video
card.

I have an optimus technology laptop which is supposed to use two video cards.
The intel video card is used for daily, not cpu/gpu demanding applications, and
nvidia card which is there to fill graphically demanding applications. 

This is done loading two drivers: one for intel and another to nvidia. This is
not only possible in Openmandriva but it used to work nicely in the past OMV
2013 and OMV 2014 loading intel and nvidia drivers. 

The OMV LX 3.0 used to load intel and nouveau drivers, without any conflicting
problem. However, I need the nvidia driver so as to run GPU applications and
get more from graphically intensive applications.

Thus, I think the problem is not related to having two drivers loaded
simultaneously since nouveau and intel can coexist in peace. The message on the
OMV-error-report is rather a clue to solve the problem than the problem itself.

For some reason, nvidia configuration is not being done properly by XFdrake as
it used to do in OMV 2013 and 2014.

If you think I misunderstood your point please let me know.
