The Nouveau driver, the X.Org project designed to provide a open-source NVIDIA graphics driver for Linux with 2D/3D/Video acceleration that's developed by cleanly reverse-engineering NVIDIA's binary driver, is about to get promoted in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS...
While the Nouveau driver developers have a huge disadvantage compared to the open-source Intel and AMD Radeon Linux drivers in that they need to reverse-engineer NVIDIA's binary driver at the same time as writing the open-source code and they have no form of support at all from NVIDIA Corp, their...
While the Linux 2.6.38 kernel has been out for less than one week, if you use NVIDIA graphics, particularly with a low-end GPU, start counting down the days to the release of the Linux 2.6.39 kernel. Particularly on lower-end NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, the reverse-engineered open-source Nouveau driver now meets...
Appena dopo l’intervento di Linus Torvalds, in cui non le manda a dire a NVIDIA, gli sviluppatori di Nouveau hanno rilasciato i sorgenti per la prima major release del driver open source.
Nvidia driver is a little glitchy as always so I've been testing out the nouveau driver and I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. It just keeps getting better with each version.
A few less frames per second but you can even game with it now!
I'm trying to install proprietary nvidia graphics driver I downloaded from nvidia website. It will not install because it says that the "Nouveau kernel driver" needs to be disabled first.
I opened synaptic and uninstalled everything that had nvidia, nouveau, or jockey in its name. It still won't work.
What exactly do I need to do to disable the "Nouveau kernel driver"?
I have Ubuntu 12.04 on a notebook HP Elibook 8540w, working with the recommended additional NVidia driver. The graphic card is a QUADRO FX 1800M.

After Linus began criticizing Red Hat over not upstreaming the Nouveau driver and Red Hat then attributing this on microcode issues less than a day ago, David Airlie has prepared a patch to introduce the Nouveau DRM in the Linux 2.6.33 kernel.
