[SOLVED] Uninstalling nvidia blob

[Gareth Jones]

Hi all,

For reasons I shall mention later in another thread, I've decided to revert to Nouveau from the nvidia blob.

Having successfully done so, do any of you know how to get the graphical boot screen back, instead of the text screen that the non-KMS nvidia driver forced?

Thanks,
Gareth

re-install the kernel and rebuild your initramfs

Thanks!

Just running dracut seems to have done the job.

I must say I'm impressed with Nouveau, it seems more stable than the blob (so far) and surprisingly does a more than adequate job of proper 3-D acceleration as well as gnome-shell. Roll on Clover, I'll miss OpenCL.
