Hi Frederik,

I am cc'ing the mailing list in case anyone else needs to know.

I am assuming you know how to compile and insert the module because you've
had the same problem.

I just removed and blacklisted the nouveau kernel module:

sudo rmmod nouveau

and add

blacklist nouveau

to

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

then do

update-initramfs -u

to stop it from loading at boot

Dunno if that is the best way of doing it but I am just an improved newbie.

Cheers,

Dinis
