Thank you very much. That solved my proglem.
Sorry for not mentioning the package manager. With Fedora 22 its dnf and I installed the driver using the runfile, because that method proved reliable the last few times, and nvidia drivers are not easily available via repos on all distros.
I did the following:
- create a file /etx/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-intel.conf
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Intel"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24 #Choose the depth (16||24)
EndSection
- create the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist nouveau
3a. blacklist nouveau in /etc/default/grub (I have that done already before)
- uninstalled nouveau
dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.x86_64
- generated a new initrd image and set target to multi-user (runlevel 3)
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/intirams-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
systemctl set-default multi-user.target
From this tutorial:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/66187/how-to-disable-nouveau-and-install-nvidia/
-
reboot and login in shell
-
install nvidia driver
./NVIDIA-[version].run -a -e --no-opengl-files
and declined for the xconfig
- set runlevel to graphical again
systemctl set-default graphical.target
- reboot and i worked
Note: I had already installed the CUDA toolkit before and there were no issues when changing drivers.
I almost had this solution once, except I have not used the option --no-opengl-files and I think I let nvidia mess around with the xconfig.
I still think it is strange that I had this issues with a Quadro card and never experienced such problems with the “cheap” consumer cards. Of course I know that Linux usually has better support for common hardware, but with Quadro cards you especially pay for that support.
Anyway it works fine now. Again thank you.
