I’m new to calculate linux, but I’m already running a Gentoo system on my PC. I installed CLD 17 from the Live DVD and initially used the proprietary Nvidia drivers for my Quadro 4000. After noticing that switching to console leaves me with a black screen, I tried to switch to the nouveau driver (cl-setup-video --video nouveau) and de-installed the nvidia package. However, that still seems to leave me with the nvidia kernel driver (nvidia-drm, nvidia-modeset, nvidia). How can I setup the system to use the nouveau kernel driver or am I thinking in the wrong direction?
As mentioned in my post, that was the first thing I did. Unfortunately with bad luck. It seems to be related to the initramfs, but I didn’t find any conf, any suggestions?
cl-setup-boot doesn’t change the situation, so your guess seems right. I’m back on proprietary nvidia drivers for now, trying to get the console back with different kernel settings…
He explains that a) nv is a backup, and b) that he no longer uses proprietary nvidea drivers as the nouveau driver now works fine. If this suggestion and video do not help, Das is a friendly guy who would probably help you if you contact him.
