I don't remember exactly why I used the NVIDIA driver from nvidia.com
instead of the Debian nvidia-driver package. I remember that I had to
blacklist the module nouveau in order to install the driver from
nvidia.com. But if I try to install the nvidia-driver package I can
see as dependency the xserver-xorg-nvidia package. Should I maintain
nouveau in blacklist if I install nvidia-driver?
