nouveau cannot be unloaded due to it being used...

XFdrake sets nvidia (as requested)

/etc/init.d/dm restart fails, nvidia module can't load, due to nouveau being loaded...

Comment 2 AL13N 2011-02-26 19:22:01 CET

is this something that can be fixed? looking at the link at mandriva, it seems like nouveau has to fix their driver so it can unload perfectly fine?

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2011-02-26 20:21:05 CET

Looking at the mdv bug linked above, XFdrake should ask the user to reboot not just log out -> log in; IIUC.

Comment 4 AL13N 2011-02-26 22:27:29 CET

personally, i would rather it didn't, but i guess it's dependant on the drm drivers... /me sighs

Summary: XFdrake fails to install nvidia because nouveau module is loaded => XFdrake should ask the user to reboot when switching from free to proprietary drivers when both use kernel modules
