I have a Debian 12 system with NVIDIA GT710 graphic card. It had problem with NVIDIA drivers and I wanted to back to the nouveau driver that worked better.
There is no blacklist of novueau in /etc/modprobe.d
There is no nomodeset in kernel parameter
I completely removed nvidia drivers (sudo apt purge "*nvidia*")
but still can not load into desktop. It show me a blank screen instead lightdm
I included novueau in xorg.conf with no result
I tried adding `nouveau` and `drm` to /etc/modules with no result
I tried nouveau option in /etc/modprobe.d with no result
I tried updating grub and `initramfs -u -k all` with no result
the only way I could load lightdm and desktop is including `nouveau.modeset=1` in kernel parameter and manually type:
sudo modprobe nouveau
sudo systemctl restart lightdm
why this happen? and what is solution?
inxi BEFORE manually modprobe: is empty before manual modprob
after sudo modprobe nouveau:
