[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#580894: nvidia-kernel-common: no conflict between nouveau and nvidia on G84M [Quadro NVS 140M]

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: nvidia-kernel-common
Version: 20100216+3+nmu1
Severity: normal

I just checked on my laptop with a G84M [Quadro NVS 140M] GPU and found
that I had both nvidia.ko (first) and nouveau.ko (later) loaded without
gettiny any problems. Manually unloading both and thereafter loading
nouveau first switched the system to a nouveau framebuffer console, a
nouveau.ko module no longer being removable and an nvidia.ko that could
not be loaded because nouveau.ko already had claimed the GPU (till the
next reboot). I'm not sure what defined the load order during boot,
neither of the modules is listed in /etc/modules.
