After installing and uninstalling dkms-nvidia390 I had to remove the 'nokmsboot' kernel parameter manually, which had been inserted on install. > mv /etc/default/grub.old /etc/default/grub > mv /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.old /boot/grub2/grub.cfg or: grub-mkconfig >/boot/grub2/grub.cfg If you don't do that nouveau is not loaded and if you load it manually the X-server still won't start.

Thank you for the report. It is not trivial: > I had to remove the 'nokmsboot' kernel parameter manually, > or: # grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub2/grub.cfg > If you don't do that nouveau is not loaded and > if you load it manually the X-server still won't start Assigning to kernel/drivers.

Drivers dont change kernel options, drakx does... If you had used drakx to change from proprietary driver to free one , it would have remomved the nokmsboot
