Hi,
please add on the hardwareinstall of the nvidia drivers this
lines in the installscript :
echo 'blacklist nouveau' >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf
echo 'nouveau modeset=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-nouveau.conf source :
https://kaischroed.wordpress.com/howto-install-nvidia-driver-on-fedora-replacing-nouveau/
for disabling the nouveau modules to able loading the nvidia modules.
this is it, why start not the nvidia server because the nouveau-modules
is in the way, with this it's able to blacklisting the nouveau modules
therewith. best regards Blacky
