Hi QA,
I have a file that already contains these blacklist settings and they seem
to be ignored. Somehow nouveau is getting installed and override the
blacklist.  I think it is getting loaded during the boot process such as
initrd.

I agree with Mark and state this as "Extras" or something equivalent.  The
idea is to use free software but in this case it required the non-free
driver to support development using the GPU card.


I did some research and found the following:

the driver nouveau get loaded during "initrd", also known as "initramfs"


This behavior is nothing new as it has been reported before (see)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1263523.

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/256.44/README/commonproblems.html

Actually the NVIDIA driver installation creates the blacklist file in the
proper place in /etc/modprobe.d/.  If nvidia-installer detects Nouveau is
in use by the system, it will offer to create such a modprobe configuration
file to disable Nouveau.

This is what the drivers creates and it's location.

cat /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf
# generated by nvidia-installer
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

The installation notes also stated to created this if needed:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf

I put this info in Bug number 1512 in Bugzilla to keep track of this issue.
Thanks for pointing it out.
